Border officials confirmed that a 23-year-old Salvadoran migrant arrested for murder in Maryland had previously been detained and released at the border.
"Sanchez-Centeno is an unlawfully present 23-year-old Salvadoran national," ICE said in a statement. "U.S. Border Patrol apprehended Sanchez June 2 after he unlawfully entered the United States near Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Later that day, ERO El Paso placed Sanchez into the Alternatives to Detention program with a GPS monitor. ERO El Paso terminated Sanchez from ATD Aug. 8, as he absconded from the program."
