U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Marshals Service arrested Luis Enrique Baires, 28, a criminal alien from El Salvador wanted in his home country for two counts of aggravated homicide, two counts of proposition and conspiracy for the crime of aggravated homicide, and one count of illicit associations with the MS-13, Enfermos Criminales Salvatruchos clique February 21 during a routine traffic stop in Des Moines, Iowa.
“Rural Iowa is not immune from Central American criminals like Baires, and we will continue to face the challenge of tracking down and arresting the worst of the worst,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations St. Paul Field Office Director Matthew Putra.
Putra added, “Thanks to U.S. Marshals Service for assisting us in this arrest to keep communities safe.”
Baires remains in ICE custody without bond, pending the outcome of his removal proceedings.
