Illegal Immigrant with Lengthy Rap Sheet Arrested in Maryland Sanctuary County for Allegedly Murdering Two-Year-Old
An illegal alien with a long rap sheet, who was supposed to be deported more than a year ago, has been arrested for allegedly murdering two-year-old Jeremy Poou Caceres.
The Prince George’s County Police Department in Maryland has charged El Salvador native Nilson Noel Trejo-Granados with first and second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and attempted first and second-degree murder.
Poou Caceres was shot and killed in Langley Park on February 8 outside of an apartment complex. Police say that the boy and his 17-year-old mother were caught in the crossfire of a shootout between two groups.
Prince George’s County, where the suspect was arrested, is a sanctuary jurisdiction, meaning it does not cooperate with ICE detainer requests. Neighboring Montgomery County, where Trejo-Granados had previously been arrested on theft charges, is also a sanctuary.
Trejo-Granados is the fifth suspect to be arrested in the case. His attorney said at a bail review hearing on Monday that the suspect was “at the wrong place, at the wrong time.”
A Department of Justice immigration judge in Newark ordered Trejo-Granados’s removal from the U.S. on November 7, 2022. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in a statement that Trejo-Granados should have been deported a number of times following that order.
