A 15-year-old Marietta murder suspect is to be deported to El Salvador once released from criminal custody, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says.

Brayan Segura, also known to authorities as Brayan Eduardo Rivas and Brayan Rivas-Segura, was arrested by Marietta police on April 9, accused of the stabbing death of 14-year-old Marietta girl Janina Valenzuela the evening prior.

Police said Segura told them he stabbed Valenzuela near The Arbors at East Cobb apartment complex on April 8 as part of an initiation into the MS-13 criminal street gang, because she claimed to be from a rival gang, 18th Street.

Segura is in the Cobb jail without bond, charged as an adult with four felony counts of malice murder, aggravated assault, concealing a death and gang activity, records show.

ICE said Segura was initially apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol near Roma, Texas in November 2017, but was released as an “unaccompanied alien child.”

An ICE statement, shared Tuesday night with the MDJ by Atlanta Field Office public affairs officer Lindsay Williams, confirmed it had lodged an immigration detainer against “unlawfully present Salvadoran national Brayan Rivas-Segura, 15, pursuant to his arrest for murder April 9 in Cobb County, Georgia.”

An ICE detainer orders local law enforcement to not release the person, but instead to hold the person for up to 48 hours after the time they would otherwise be released, so immigration officials can detain and transfer them to federal custody.

If Segura is prosecuted in Cobb, convicted and sentenced, he will be subject to deportation at the end of his sentence, even if that is decades from now. If he is found innocent of his charges in Cobb and released from criminal custody, he must answer to ICE, which can still deport him for being in the country illegally.

The MDJ has much more (!) on this story here.

Many thanks to InsiderAdvantage for your recent profile on Rep. Bee Nguyen (Nguyen among a crowded field in Secretary of State’s race). I found it quite informative and provided useful insight into her background. It is vitally important to get an idea of the beliefs and priorities of a potential constitutional office holder.

I would like to add information on Nguyen’s position regarding at least one aspect of illegal immigration that most voters will find relevant in their decision process on selecting a candidate for next year’s Secretary of State race. Including at our pro-enforcement house, she is unlikely to find support from anyone who wants to make Georgia unattractive to illegal immigration and voter fraud.

Nguyen is the sponsor of HB 833 also known as the “Freedom to Drive Act” which would reward illegal aliens who don’t already have a Georgia driver’s license and or state ID Card with a “Driving Card” and/or an official ID card. The official permission to drive and use state ID would apply to virtually all the estimated 400,000 illegal aliens in Georgia as well as any of the hordes of illegal aliens who have been welcomed into the U.S. by the Biden administration and who have Georgia on their mind as a homestead destination.

The 20,000 illegal aliens living in Georgia who are recipients of the Obama era DACA status already have access to the exact same driver’s license the Department of Drivers Services issues to legal immigrants and guest workers here with legal visas.

The official nod for “undocumented workers” to drive lawfully would extend to commercial operations as well.

Dustin Inman Society President D.A. King has warned about this legislation and provided background on the failed attempt by Tennessee to provide security or transparency in almost an identical concept in 2004. “Tennessee ended that adventure after two years and a federal investigation that exposed the extreme level of fraud, bribery and the fact that illegal aliens from other states were flocking to Tennessee to get ‘documented’ Georgia is already home to more illegal aliens than Arizona. Most of us don’t want to make it easier for them to vote,” wrote King.

I join him in noting that “in Bee Nguyen’s proposed change to state law, documents used by illegal aliens on the application for ID and driving credentials could not be used for a state criminal investigation unless there was an order by a federal judge. That includes the application itself.” There is more.

Conservative voters may believe this legislation is far too extreme to be taken seriously by leaders under the Gold Dome. I respectfully urge those who would dismiss the possibility of passage in the GOP-controlled legislature to consider the power of the special interest groups who will push behind the scenes for passage in the name of a “mobile workforce” and “Number One for Business…”

Would Gov. Brian Kemp sign such a bill if it did pass?
