NEW YORK.- U.S. authorities deported the Dominican Hector Vargas Valerio, 39, wanted in connection with four murders in Santiago. He was deported from the U.S. in 1998 for drug trafficking.
In a statement U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Vargas was residing illegally in the Manhattan sector of Inwood at the time of his arrest.
He has been a fugitive since August, 2011, charged with, along with several accomplices, of the kidnap and later murder of four people in Santiago.
"Vargas Valerio was an international fugitive who kidnapped and murdered four people in the Dominican Republic after being deported for the illegal reentry into the U.S. in a failed attempt to carry out a new life with a new identity, but we discovered who he was and now we've returned him to his homeland where he will stand trial for his alleged crimes," said ICE Deportations Task Force leader in New York, Raymond A. Simonse.
ICE agents escorted Vargas on a charter plane and upon landing handed custody over to Dominican authorities.

He would soon be out on the streets to resume his life of crime, and I doubt he'll spend more than a year or two. I can already read the script: Interim Judge Romero Gurabo Cambita found no credible evidence in the allegations, and the accused was released and his properties returned, including RD $5M in cash. The defendant proclaimed his faith in the Dominican judicial system and thanked the judge for his good and accurate judgement. Comical, absolutely comical!
MJEV.
Why didn't they drop that thug from the airplane, before landing here??
He is soon going to be free here, to resume and destroy more useful lives.
