Illegal Immigrant’s Arrest Causes Controversy – Until It’s Revealed He’s Wanted For Murder

An illegal alien who was arrested in southern California while taking his pregnant wife to the hospital caused a stir on social media.

Joel Arrona Lara, 36, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on Wednesday at a gas station in San Bernardino, California as he was taking his wife, Maria del Carmen Venegas, to the hospital for a scheduled cesarean section, CBS 2 Los Angeles reported.

Venegas is even suing ICE, charging that they endangered the life of her child, who is an American citizen.
