President Joe Biden's immigration policies were not only disastrous but also extremely dangerous to the American public, and even though President Donald Trump is correcting the situation, the residual effects are still apparent.
According to Fox News, a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member from Venezuela was recently released on probation in Chicago, where he's now free to commit crimes and terrorize U.S. citizens.
Pedro Colmenares, a 33-year-old gang member and illegal immigrant, was released on probation even though he has a domestic violence charge on his record, clearly indicating he's not afraid to commit acts of violence.
He was previously ordered to be deported in 2022.
An immigration judge ordered his deportation at the time, but like many other illegals do to stall the situation, he filed an appeal.
While the appeal was processing, he ended up in Chicago, where he ultimately ended up back on the radar of federal law enforcement officials after he was hit with a weapons charge.
The weapons charge, which was filed in Cook County, triggered ICE detainer issued by the Department of Homeland Security. However, because of the "sanctuary" status of the county, he avoided detainment and deportation.
Not surprisingly, the illegal alien ended up in the custody of law enforcement once again, as Fox News noted:
Colmenares was taken into custody once again this week for three days and was questioned by Chicago Police about his suspected involvement in the shooting death of a 25-year-old Hispanic man last September.
Police noted that there was probable cause justifying taking him in, but ultimately the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office declined to pursue the case, citing "uncooperative witnesses."
Fox News added:
Colmenares is facing charges in a shocking kidnapping and sexual assault of his former girlfriend last October in Chicago. He is charged with domestic battery with bodily harm for allegedly pulling up in a car to the 27-year-old Hispanic woman and telling her to get in "or I’ll shoot you."
Users across social media reacted to the news of the illegal alien being set free on probation.

"If this monster harms anyone else, then all who were involved in his release should be brought up on charges of aiding and abetting criminals!" one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "This is how Chicago rolls. You see, it's run by criminals so this guy has special cred. Pedro is the ideal democrat minion, except that he keeps a little too high a profile."
