Maryland residents can sleep better knowing this man is off the streets.
The Department of Homeland Security has announced it has arrested one of El Salvador’s most wanted criminals in Maryland.
ICE arrested gang member Antonio Lazo-Quintanilla who was wanted in El Salvador for aggravated homicide.
The mugshot of Antonio Lazo-Quintanilla has gone viral due to his 666 tattoo on his forehead.
Fox News reported more on the arrest:
A notorious criminal on El Salvador’s list of most-wanted gang members has been taken into custody on United States soil, according to federal officials.
Antonio Israel Lazo-Quintanilla was arrested in Maryland earlier this month after police caught him allegedly driving without a license, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a news release.
While the arrest marks Lazo-Quintanilla’s first known run-in with the law in the United States, authorities learned he is wanted in his home country for numerous crimes, including aggravated homicide, extortion and possession of drugs, according to DHS.
“Seventy percent of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “This gang member on El Salvador’s most wanted list is a perfect example of ICE targeting the worst of the worst.
“He may lack a violent rap sheet in the U.S., but this criminal illegal alien is clearly a public safety threat.

“The media’s false claims that ICE is not arresting the worst of the worst simply has no grounding,” McLaughlin added. “In reality, ICE is arresting criminal illegal aliens before they can victimize Americans.”
Lazo-Quintanilla, whose mugshot shows a large “666” tattoo across his forehead, is also “a confirmed member of the 18th Street Gang” in El Salvador, which has been designated a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the Trump administration, according to DHS.

The DHS had more details to share on the gang members arrest:
Earlier this month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a criminal illegal alien who is a confirmed member of the 18th Street Gang, a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), and was on El Salvador’s most wanted gang members’ list.
Antonio Israel Lazo-Quintanilla was arrested by ICE in October. While technically his only crime in the United States is driving without a license, this illegal alien is wanted in El Salvador for aggravated homicide, extortion, possession of drugs, and a litany of other felonies.
70% of the illegal aliens arrested by ICE have been charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. But this statistic doesn’t even count gang members, terrorists, human rights abusers, and foreign fugitives who lack a rap sheet in the U.S.
“70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “This gang member on El Salvador’s most wanted list is a perfect example of ICE targeting the worst of the worst. He may lack a violent rap sheet in the U.S. but this criminal illegal alien is clearly a public safety threat. The media’s false claims that ICE is not arresting the worst of the worst simply has no grounding. In reality, ICE is arresting criminal illegal aliens BEFORE they can victimize Americans.”
Despite the clear and present danger posed by criminal illegal aliens, the mainstream media continues to whip up violence against ICE and DHS law enforcement by falsely claiming DHS is not targeting the worst of the worst.
