ILLEGAL ALIEN UNDER DEPORTATION ORDER COMMITTED FATAL DOUBLE STABBING IN INDIANA

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (WTHR) – The man accused of stabbing two others Saturday night is in the country illegally.

Christian Ortez, 35, first came into the country illegally from El Salvador in September 2016 near Hidalgo, Texas, according to Nicole Alberico, a spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Border officers caught him and arrested him immediately, but he was released a month later after posting bond.

Eight months after that, an immigration judge ordered he be deported back to El Salvador, but he skipped the hearing and authorities couldn’t find him.

Police first found the stabbing victims just before 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the 3700 block of La Fontaine Court. That’s not far from John Marshall High School.

Both were taken to the hospital, one stable, the other in critical condition. The man in critical condition later passed away.

Detectives found out Ortez had run into a nearby apartment. SWAT officers came to help, went into the apartment and arrested him on charges of aggravated battery and murder.

Anyone with information about this incident should call the IMPD Homicide Office at (317) 327-3475 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-TIPS (8477). You can also download the mobile P3tips app for Apple or Android phones to submit a...

At least three people were killed and 20 others were injured Saturday after a van drove into a crowd of pedestrians in front of a popular bar in the German city of Muenster, police said.

The driver of the van shot himself to death following the crash, Andreas Bode, a police spokesman, told reporters. Officers said a suspicious object was found inside the van and they were still investigating what it is and if it is dangerous. Police said the main reason the area was cordoned off was due to the suspicious object.

The van crashed into people sitting in front of the popular Kiepenkerl bar in the city's historic downtown area. Bode said six of the 20 injured were in critical condition.

Police in Muenster have asked citizens to "avoid the area near the Kiepenkerl pub" as authorities investigate the incident. A large-scale police operation is currently underway.

You probably don’t pay much attention when you drive to another county — after all, there are over 3,000 of them in America.

However, one county line in the South is getting attention after a local sheriff put a very pro-gun message on a sign.

According to WGCL News, Sheriff Mike Jolley of Harris County, Georgia put up the sign a few years ago but it’s now going viral online. The reason? Well, take a look at its message.

“Our citizens have concealed weapons,” the prominent sign at the county border declares.

“If you kill someone, we might kill you back. We have ONE jail and 356 cemeteries. Enjoy your stay!”

While some people might view the sign as a veiled threat, the man behind it says it’s meant as a reminder for people to think about their actions.

“I think the sign speaks for itself,” Sheriff Jolley told Patch.com. “Citizens here have weapons and that’s legal.”

“The citizens have a legal right to protect themselves and their property. If you come into our county and kill someone, you might get...

CLEVELAND, OH (Fox 8 News) – The FOX 8 I-Team has found a man thrown out of the U.S. three times somehow made it back here again, and he now faces a charge of sexually assaulting a child in Cleveland.

Felony sex charges are pending in Cuyahoga County Court against Antonio Barrera.

The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency says Barrera was deported to Mexico three times between 2007-2008.

Last December, Cleveland police say he sexually assaulted a child on the city’s east side. Investigators say the victim was a relative.

Thursday, the victim’s mother told the I-Team she walked in on the attack. She told us Barrera had been living there with relatives and working at a factory. And, his past was no secret.

The victim’s mother said, “Yes, we all knew he didn’t have papers.”

The I-Team has also obtained handwritten letters sent to the court signed with the name Antonio Barrera. He doesn’t speak English. But the letters are written in English. One asks for drug treatment instead of prison. The other asks for a trial. Both talk about Mexico.

One letter says, “I want to take my case to a jury trial then go home to Mexico, no more under the tunnels.”

Judge Nancy Russo is handling the case of the sex crimes. At a hearing Thursday, she wondered why the court is getting those neatly-written letters from a man who doesn’t speak English. A defense attorney had to translate for Barrera, and he said...
