A man wanted since the death of a 22-year-old on Christmas morning was captured while trying to cross the border into the United States.
Metro Nashville Police said 25-year-old Darwin Perez-Castellanos was detained while crossing into the country. While he was in custody, U.S. border patrol agents learned there was a warrant for his arrest in connection with the death of Edil Hernandez.
Hernandez was shot to death while driving near the 4500 block of Nolensville Pike about 3:20 a.m. Christmas morning, police said in December.

So, we had an illegal alien who murdered somebody walking out and in the country like he was at Publix for some tater salad. Now imagine the thousands of criminals that have gone unchecked and unbothered so far during this administration.
But I am the problem.
One thing I keep wondering about: when Border Patrol apprehend a convicted felon, what happens? I’ve heard of many of these captures, but not a word about the aftermath. Do they get released like ordinary illegal immigrants? Do they get sent back to Mexico to try again? I’m guessing the latter, I think I heard of one felon who was detained twice, a few days apart.
There’s an obvious solution: if you’re a felon who has been ejected from the country and you’re found in the USA again after that, you go back to jail for the same term you got originally, no trial needed.
