LOS ANGELES – (ICE / PRESS RELEASE) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues to lodge immigration detainers on criminal aliens in the custody of non-cooperative local law enforcement. State and local policies prevent these agencies from working with ICE, resulting in the release of hundreds of criminal aliens back into the local community after their arrests for criminal activity like homicide, molestation of a child, battery, robbery and terrorist threats. “Sanctuary policies create an irresponsible safe harbor for criminal aliens who seek to prey on the most vulnerable members of our communities,” said Senior Official Performing the Duties of the ICE Director Tony H. Pham. “Immigration enforcement is about applying the law – our actions, efforts and resources remain diligently focused on targeting those who not only threaten and undermine our national security, but who demonstrate a repeated and willful disregard for public safety within the United States.”
ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Los Angeles continues to emphasize the critical role immigration detainers play in apprehending criminal aliens arrested by local authorities on charges, for who the agency also maintains probable cause to believe are removable from the U.S.
“Sanctuary laws are largely designed to tie the hands of law enforcement officials and inhibit them from working with federal partners – this only serves to protect criminal aliens at a tremendous and dangerous cost to victims,” said ICE’s ERO Los Angeles Field Office Director Dave Marin.
The non-cooperative policies require ICE to divert limited resources previously embedded with local law enforcement agencies and send officers out into communities to target and apprehend at-large aliens convicted of crimes or with pending criminal charges, according to Marin.
“The sad truth is that these individuals are often released and returned into immigrant communities to potentially victimize other immigrants, and the crimes we are talking about span things like homicide, kidnapping, rape, robbery, battery, fraud, theft, drug offenses, crimes against children, weapons charges – these are not law-abiding people who anyone should want in their community,” he said. “We will continue to seek effective collaboration and partnerships with local law enforcement to ensure the overarching safety of our communities, and we remain committed and focused to targeting egregious, recidivist, violent criminals.”

A 55-year-old citizen and national of Honduras and prior removal charged with lewd and lascivious acts/sex with a minor; processed and released by the LASD sometime in August
Immigration detainers serve as a legally authorized request, upon which a law enforcement agency may rely, to continue to maintain custody of an alien for up to 48 hours so that ICE may assume custody for removal purposes. Pursuant to ICE policy, all ICE detainers are submitted with an accompanying administrative arrest warrant or warrant of removal depending upon the circumstances of the individual case.
ICE officers are sworn federal law enforcement officers who operate within the confines of the law. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides ICE officers the authority to arrest aliens without a judicial warrant. A judge cannot issue a warrant for a civil immigration violation. Congress, by statute, vested this authorization solely to supervisory immigration officers.
“In fiscal year 2019, there were more than 140,000 arrests made by ERO across the country; more than 14,000 of those arrests were here in California,” Marin stated. “Prior to current sanctuary laws, we had officers working in local jails, identifying criminal aliens being booked and taking immediate custody of them once local law enforcement had completed their case – all within the safe and secure confines of those local, county and state facilities.
“When California officials turned the state into a sanctuary for illegal aliens, and we were no longer permitted to maintain our presence in these facilities, it immediately resulted in criminal aliens being released by law enforcement back onto the streets and required more of our officers in our communities to apprehend them.”

A Bulgarian national was found guilty today for his role in a transnational and multi-million dollar scheme to defraud American victims through online auction fraud.
Rossen Iossifov, 53, formerly of Bulgaria, was convicted by a federal jury in Frankfort, Kentucky of one count of conspiracy to commit racketeering and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering after a two-week trial.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Iossifov and his co-conspirators participated in a criminal conspiracy that engaged in a large-scale scheme of online auction fraud that victimized at least 900 Americans. Specifically, Romania-based members of the conspiracy posted false advertisements to popular online auction and sales websites—such as Craigslist and eBay—for high-cost goods (typically vehicles) that did not actually exist. Members of the conspiracy would convince American victims to send money for the advertised goods by crafting persuasive narratives, for example, by impersonating a military member who needed to sell the advertised item before deployment.
According to court documents, members of the conspiracy created fictitious online accounts to post these advertisements and communicate with victims, often using the stolen identities of Americans to do so. They also delivered invoices to the victims bearing trademarks of reputable companies in order to make the transaction appear legitimate. Members of the conspiracy also set up call centers, impersonating customer support, to address questions and alleviate concerns over the advertisements.
According to court documents, once victims were convinced to send payment, the conspiracy participants engaged in a complicated money laundering scheme wherein domestic associates would accept victim funds, convert these funds to cryptocurrency, and transfer proceeds in the form of cryptocurrency to foreign-based money launderers.
According to evidence presented at trial, Iossifov was the owner of RG Coins, a Bulgaria-based Bitcoin exchange. From at least September 2015 to at least December 2018, he exchanged cryptocurrency into local fiat currency on behalf of the Romania-based members of the conspiracy, knowing that the Bitcoin represented the proceeds of illegal activity. According to trial testimony, for example, in just the span of about two and a half years, Iossifov exchanged over $4.9 million worth of Bitcoin for just four other members of the criminal enterprise.
Seventeen total defendants have been convicted in this case. Three others are fugitives.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Secret Service, Kentucky State Police, Lexington Police Department, IRS Criminal Investigation, and U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and supported by the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) and the International Organized Crime Intelligence and Operations Center (IOC-2).

PHILADELHIA — A mother and daughter pleaded guilty but mentally ill to five counts of first-degree murder and one count of criminal conspiracy Monday in the slayings of their relatives, three of them children, last year in their apartment in Morrisville.
Shana Selena Decree, 47, and her 21-year-old daughter Dominique Kiaran Decree will serve five consecutive life sentences as part of the negotiated plea, which was accepted by President Judge Wallace H. Bateman, Jr., who described the case as “horrific and sad at the same time.”
Between Feb. 23 and Feb. 25, 2019, the pair killed Shana Decree’s children, Naa’Irah Smith, 25, and Damon Decree Jr., 13, both of Morrisville; as well as Shana Decree’s sister, Jamilla Campbell, 42, of Trenton, New Jersey, and Campbell’s 9-year-old twin daughters Imani and Erika Allen.
Their bodies were discovered at about 4 p.m. Feb. 25, 2019, in a bedroom inside Unit S7 of the Robert Morris Apartments, 200 West Bridge Street. Both defendants resided in the apartment. Autopsies determined Erika Allen, Imani Allen, Damon Decree and Naa’Irah Smith were killed by homicidal asphyxia and Jamilla Campbell was killed by homicidal ligature strangulation. All five deaths were all ruled homicides.
During the investigation by Morrisville Borough Police and Bucks County Detectives, Shana Decree told investigators that all five victims, including the children, wanted to die and had made a suicide pact. Also, during the investigation, Shana and Dominique gave differing accounts of who killed who during the massacre.
Separate mental health professionals offered their opinions that Shana and Dominique Decree were guilty but mentally ill at the time of the murders. About 16 relatives attended the emotional court hearing, with Damon Decree Sr. speaking about the impact of not only losing his son Damon Jr., but also his first-born Dominique to five life sentences.
He said he will never get to watch his son grow and do the traditional activities a father does with his son. All he has, Decree Sr. said, is “thoughts of what might have been.” Chief Deputy District Attorney Christopher W. Rees read victim impact statements from three other relatives, including Naa’Irah Smith’s father and sister, who said it felt “like a bulldozer ran over” her when she heard the news.
After the sentencing, Rees told the media that he had “never dealt with a case as heartbreaking as this, I have never seen a case with this level of sadness, with this level of loss.”
“If you have kids, go hug your kids,” Rees said. “If you have parents who are still around, if you have brothers and sisters go give them a hug. If you can’t give them a hug, give them a call, send then a text, send them an email.
“The one thing that this has brought home to me is that this is all family. Take every last moment and use every last moment to tell your family you love them.”
District Attorney Matt Weintraub provided the following statement after the sentencing: “Today, we mourn with the families of Erica and Imani Allen, Damon Decree, Naa’irah Smith, and Jamilla Campbell, who were all murdered by mother and daughter Shana and Dominique Decree,” Weintraub said. “Were it not for their severe mental illness, both would face the death penalty. As it stands, they both will spend the rest of their lives in prison cells separated from the rest of us, as punishment. “By murdering, Erica, Imani, Damon, Naa’irah, and Jamilla, they’ve decimated entire generations of their own family. It tests my faith in humanity and in God. But I have to believe in both. The alternative is so much worse.” The case was prosecuted by Chief Deputy District Attorney Christopher W. Rees and Deputy District Attorney Kristin McElroy.
