Man charged with killing 3 had been deported twice

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Guatemalan man who apparently entered the U.S. illegally after being deported twice has been charged with killing an Iowa woman and her two children.
Marvin Oswaldo Escobar-Orellana, 31, made an initial court appearance Thursday in Des Moines, where the judge set his bond at $3 million cash and scheduled his next hearing for July 29. He is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and hasn’t entered a plea.
Escobar-Orellana was arrested Tuesday night in the fatal shootings of 29-year-old Rossibeth Flores-Rodriguez and her two children, 11-year-old Grecia Daniela Alvarado-Flores and 5-year-old Ever Jose Mejia-Flores. Police said Escobar-Orellana had been living at the family’s Des Moines home, but that investigators found no evidence that he had a personal relationship with them, aside from the living arrangement.
Escobar-Orellana called 911 after the shootings, authorities say. In a criminal complaint, police say that according to an unidentified witness, Escobar-Orellana shot Flores-Rodriguez during an argument and then went inside the family’s condo and shot the children, the Des Moines Register reported.
Escobar-Orellana gave investigators a different version of events. He said Flores-Rodriguez killed the children and that he shot her in self-defense, police say in the complaint.
During his hearing, Escobar-Orellana asked the Polk County Associate Judge Becky Goettsch through a Spanish-language interpreter why he was charged with all three killings, when he only killed one person — and that in self-defense. But police say in the complaint that ballistic evidence supports the witness’ account of what happened.
According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Escobar-Orellana gave police a false name when they arrested him: Marvin Esquivel-Lopez.
Escobar-Orellana was deported in 2010 and again in 2011, said ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer. In 2010, Escobar-Orellana was convicted of illegal entry into the U.S.
His 2011 deportation stemmed from illegal entry to the U.S. near Laredo, Texas, court records said. He was sentenced to 15 days confinement and ordered not to return to the country illegally.
ICE has filed an immigration detainer and administrative arrest warrant with the Polk County Jail, Neudauer said. An immigrant who re-enters the country without authorization after having been previously deported can be charged with a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

But we will soon have posters here asserting that illegals don't commit crimes at a higher rate than citizens and that we needn't be concerned with such things.

quote:No way someone who doesn't know English commits crimes. Laws they cannot possibly know anything about due to language and stuff. Makes so much sense Non English people would follow all the vast number of laws written in English. All those books in the bookcases in law offices are so simple and easy to read to those who don't know how to read them and stuff.

Dim Dem logic.

Just a little human trafficking rape etc. The "uncle" is long gone.
A Sioux City couple is accused paying to have a Guatemalan girl trafficked into the country and locking her in their Iowa home, where the girl says she was repeatedly raped before she escaped, court documents show.
Amy Francisco and Cristobal Francisco-Nicolas face federal charges of “bringing in and harboring certain aliens.” The charges were filed in the Northern District of Iowa, though initial court appearance documents for both were filed July 11 in the Southern District of California.
Francisco-Nicolas, 38, is also accused of raping the girl while his wife watched. Authorities have not charged him with any sexual offenses in this case, a review of Iowa court documents show.
The girl, whose age is not listed in court documents, is identified only by three initials. She is not being named by the Register because she is a minor and a victim.
The girl arrived in Sioux City on May 31 after a journey that began when a Guatemalan national named Fernando Bartolo Francisco announced himself as her father and took her from her aunt’s care in Guatemala, according to court documents. The girl said her mother died when she was 3 or 4 years old.
Bartolo Francisco traveled with the girl to the U.S.-Mexico border, where the two crossed the Rio Grande River on May 29 west of a border station in El Paso, Texas, court documents show. The two were arrested by border patrol agents, but released from the El Paso detention center because of a lack of space.
At that residence, the girl says she was locked in a room “with a metal bed and a bucket for bodily waste,” according to the complaint. She said Francisco-Nicolas raped her five times before one day leaving for work without locking her door. She said she escaped the home while Amy Francisco slept.
Three search warrants naming Francisco-Nicolas or Francisco have been executed since late June, according to Iowa court records. The affidavits supporting the warrants have been sealed.
Court documents show an investigation led to the discovery of four other Guatemalan nationals living in the Sioux City residence: Maurilio Juarez-Marcos and his minor son; and Juan Francisco-Pedro and his minor son.
Amy Francisco’s father, Ronald Craig, also lived at the residence. LINK
