Illegal alien crime continues to shock American citizens. Louisiana has experienced its fair share of illegal alien criminals in recent years. Earlier this year, an illegal alien from Honduras allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl and stabbed a man in Kenner.

Unfortunately, illegal immigration continues to remain a major issue in Southeast Louisiana. On June 30th, a French Quarter tour guide was shot in her car in downtown New Orleans. Soon after, three young men were arrested in connection to this murder.

However, this story took an interesting turn earlier this week. On Wednesday, June 10th, the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported that one of the alleged perpetrators is an illegal alien from Honduras.

According to WGSO, ICE published this illegal alien’s long-running criminal record–which started years before this crime took place:

According to the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 19-year-old Joshua Aviala-Bonifacio is a Honduran citizen who allegedly entered the United States illegally on an unknown date.

ICE noted that on May 11, 2019, Border Patrol had a run-in with Aviala-Bonifacio in Texas and determined he was inadmissible. He also reportedly has a history of being arrested for theft and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles.

ICE officials released a log of Aviala-Bonifacio’s background since entering the country:

-On May 14, 2019, U.S. Border Patrol released Aviala-Bonifacio on an order of recognizance.

-On Oct. 6, 2023, the Kenner Police Department arrested Aviala-Bonifacio for theft under the alias Joshua Avila.

-On Feb. 14, 2024, the KPD arrested Aviala-Bonifacio for theft, contributing to the delinquency of juveniles and three Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office fugitive attachments

Two of Louisiana’s top elected officials sounded off on this tragic incident. Governor Landry cut to the chase by calling out the “open border” policies coming from the federal government. Additionally, Attorney General Liz Murrill ordered an investigation into the broken juvenile justice system in New Orleans–which did not properly monitor one of the alleged perpetrators in this case.

This man should have never been in Louisiana. Enough is enough. We must close our borders and keep our communities safe! https://t.co/wwa9n1Bvia

Illegal immigration is no longer just a “border state” issue. Under the current Washington DC regime, illegal aliens continue to drain the public resources, tax dollars, and lives of Louisiana residents.

We have a major problem on our hands here in Louisiana, and our state government must continue its efforts to combat illegal immigration in Louisiana.
