KANSAS CITY, Kan. A Mexican man who stands accused of murdering five people and was captured Wednesday was in the country illegally and should have been jailed or deported last year, federal immigration officials said, but three times in less than a year, he was arrested and allowed to go free because of procedural errors.
Pablo A. Serrano-Vitorino, 40, who was caught after a manhunt across two states, had a felony conviction on his record, had been deported once before and had returned to the United States illegally.
In November 2014, he was convicted of a misdemeanor drunken driving in Coffey County, Kan., but Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, which did not know he was in the country, has no record that the local authorities notified the agency, said Gillian Christensen, the press secretary for the agency. Some law enforcement agencies do not routinely notify the agency of possible undocumented immigrants unless they are charged with felonies.
Last June, Mr. Serrano-Vitorino was arrested here on a domestic battery charge, and the police notified the immigration agency but did not send his fingerprints, Ms. Christensen said. In that situation, she said, the agency first verifies peoples identities in person before asking the police to hold them for possible deportation. But Mr. Serrano-Vitorino was released before that could happen.
And in September, the agency received notice that Mr. Serrano-Vitorino was in court in Overland Park, Kan., after an arrest on a charge of driving without a license. In that case, the agency did ask that he be held, but conceded Wednesday that it had sent the request to the wrong agency to the sheriffs office, which did not have him in custody, rather than to the court. Once again, he went free.

Unexpectedly....
Obama’s FedGov.
Will be Hillary’s FedGov, too.
Series of errors = total system failure.
Mr. Trump, Here is your poster boy for the wall.
Errors. Mmmmmmm....nice.
There needs to be a “Kate Steinle Hall of Shame” set up and all of these unnecessary killings of US Citizens by “deported illegals” chronicled.
Trump would use it as a battering ram against Hitlary!
Well, you can’t expect gubbermint employees to keep track of all these funky little details, can you? They have more important things to do.
This is NOT a ‘series of errors’
It is part and parcel of a plan that exactly happened here in July.
Same shuffling around to the same agencies deliberately to set them free:
America is become a shooting gallery and illegals&thugs are given free passes to kill as many citizens as they can.. meanwhile Obammy is fighting Climate Change.. and Hillary is laughing..
Dead people all over the place and government is running around making it’s usual excuses.
Whoops, just more errors. Now get all those bodies out of sight.
Btw, has Obama held a news conference or did a speech regarding this mass murder like he promised he would?
I haven’t see it.
It wasn’t “errors”. It was a policy by the president to not deport illegal aliens.
I long for the day when one of these “undocumented angels” kills one of those pro-immigration politicians, or a family member of such.
Just “procedural errors”
American Lives Matter!
Yeah, like porn surfing during work hours.
Government workers = lazy bums.

I like the line “immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native born people”.
The gubmint likes to break down crime into statistics. I want to know which native born people they are referring to. Does any one here think that the gubmint would answer my question?
Ding ding ding! We have a winner.
