WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. John Katko (NY-24), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY-21), Republican Conference Chair, and U.S. Rep. John Rutherford (FL-4), expressed grave concerns over the recent report that an illegal immigrant was charged with murder in Jacksonville, Florida, after posing as an unaccompanied minor to illegally enter the United States at the southern border in Texas, where border security policies are not being enforced. The members are demanding answers as to how a criminal could illegally enter the country, deceive both DHS and HHS about his age, and reportedly board a U.S. Government-chartered resettlement flight.
In a letter to DHS Secretary Mayorkas and HHS Secretary Becerra, Katko, Stefanik, and Rutherford wrote,“On October 7, 2021, Yery Noel Medina Ulloa, a 24-year-old Honduran, was charged with the murder of Francisco Javier Cuellar, a 46-year-old father of four. Reports indicate that Mr. Ulloa entered the country illegally in Texas and convinced authorities he was a minor. It remains unclear how Mr. Ulloa arrived in Florida after his release. However, Mr. Cuellar’s family has expressed their belief he was transported via a U.S. Government-chartered flight resettling unaccompanied minors.”
The members continued, “The fact that a 24-year-old man could deceive both DHS and HHS officials into believing he was a minor and be detained with underage children is unconscionable. This is an obvious consequence of border security and immigration enforcement officials being overworked, understaffed, and under-supplied, and puts the safety of American citizens and unaccompanied migrant children in jeopardy.”
Katko, Stefanik, and Rutherford requested further information on why the screening process at the border failed to prioritize the safety of the American people and how Ulloa was permitted into the country and transported to Florida as an unaccompanied minor.
