Two more suspects arrested in the Newark execution case [Updated]
[Guest post by DRJ]
Following up on an earlier post by Patterico, Rodolfo Godinez, a Nicaraguan national who had been arrested several times in the past but never deported, was arrested yesterday in connection with the Newark executions. Godinez was arrested in suburban Washington DC and his 16-year-old half brother was also arrested a short time later in nearby Virginia:
“The search team, which included the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force, staked out the address in Maryland where Godinez was staying after receiving a tip that he was planning to flee to Texas and then to Mexico, according to James Plousis, a U.S. marshal who is responsible for New Jersey.
The tip came from a confidential informant working with federal law enforcement, Cuff said.
Nearly 10 other people, Sorukas said, were arrested for immigration violations in the operation.
In Virginia, Prince William County Police said three others were arrested at the Woodbridge address where the 16-year-old was found. They were arrested on charges of immigration violations and obstruction of justice.”
This case has yielded at least 15 illegal immigrants, several of which we know have criminal records.
UPDATE: 18-year-old Melvin Jovel, the sixth and apparently final suspect in the slayings, was arrested early Sunday morning in Elizabeth, NJ.
