San Antonio, TX – In a shocking turn of events, federal prosecutors in the Western District of Texas have filed 203 new immigration and immigration-related criminal cases, leaving residents worried about the safety of their communities.
Pablo Alfredo Cazares-Carrion, a 45-year-old Mexican national, tops the list of defendants. He was turned over to the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)/Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) on July 22. Cazares-Carrion had been in Bexar County Adult Detention Center since his arrest on April 13 for assault causing bodily injury to a family member.
