Illegal alien accused of murdering teen girl was in DACA program

A man accused of killing a South Carolina high school student had been protected from deportation under the DACA program, U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News Thursday evening.

Daniel De Jesus Rangel-Sherrer, 19, is accused of murder, kidnapping and possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection with the death of 18-year-old Diana Martinez-Gonzalez.

Martinez-Gonzalez, a junior at Greenville High School, was found dead in a wooded area Oct. 4. Officials said she had been forced into the woods and shot multiple times in the head.

"Immediately upon contact, [Rangel-Sherrer] confessed to one of the deputies," Greenville County Sheriff Will Lewis told reporters.

Investigators said a friend of Martinez-Gonzalez was also held against her will by the suspect, but she managed to escape and contact authorities. It's not clear how Rangel-Sherrer and Martinez-Gonzalez knew each other.

The day after Rangel-Sherrer's arrest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer order for the suspect, who was in the U.S. illegally from Mexico. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) later confirmed that Rangel-Sherrer was a DACA recipient.

DACA was created by former President Barack Obama in 2012 and protected an estimated 800,000 undocumented youths from deportation. Recipients were able to request "deferred action" for two years if they were 30 years old or younger on June 15, 2012 or came to the U.S. before turning 16 and had continuously lived in the country since June 15, 2007.

Last month, the Trump administration announced plans to wind down the program by March 5, 2018 and put pressure on Congress to find a legislative fix for the issue.

not good.. DACA recipients who do stuff like this is beyond me.

wtf was he thinking?

Awful! For the victim and family....

....and us!

Does not help the current momentum.

It's not as if DACA screening can predict if someone will commit a crime in the future. There's bad people among all groups, including DACA recipients. Most people will understand that, and those that don't most likely were never pro-DACA to begin with.

I'd like to carry out the death penalty on this son of a bitch myself.

That's a great point Swim.

Most reasonable people would understand that. I mean this guy didn't have any priors and can be compared to the Vegas shooter? Like nothing in his past would suggest he would do something like this.

yeah the shooter is white though, we do not have that privilege. lol

Oh FFS. Now we know what bad Hombres El Senor Trump was talking about. Fuck this dude. Hope he gets deported immediately if he's guilty. Now everyone at Breitbart thinks 2face, libertarian, smooth, 2moreyears etc..all wonderful Dreamers are "gangbangers".

Haha one can hope?!

Since you got the article from Fox, I'm gonna assume that they will drag on about his background, nationality and the fact that he was an "illegal" who doesn't deserve "amnesty" or any special treatment.

Hahaha! Unfortunately yes he falls exactly in that category!

At this point I am just glad all these mass shooters haven't been dacers

I wouldnt believe anything fox news or breitbart says. They are fake news! This story started on breitbart fake news! Please dont post anything that comes from fox news or breitbart fake news.
