The three people accused of murdering and then burning the body of an 83-year-old Wheaton woman last week are illegal immigrants, a Montgomery County jail official said Wednesday. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents issued warrants for Ramon Alvarado, Jose Alvarado and Ana Rodas on Wednesday afternoon, jail director Arthur Wallenstein said.
Wallenstein said that half of the 16 jail inmates accused of murder are illegal immigrants.
Cousins Jose and Ramon Alvarado were in jail in connection with the beating death of Lila Meizel. Police say the cousins lighted the woman’s body on fire to cover up a check fraud scheme. Rodas allegedly helped the two kill Meizel.
Both Alvarado cousins had prior criminal records in Montgomery County. Jose, 37, for check fraud and Ramon, 32, for driving a car without a license or registration, court records show. Rodas, 32, has no criminal history.
The recent spate of high-profile killings allegedly committed by illegal immigrants who had criminal histories has county officials re-examining the policy of not checking the immigration status of people the county detains, said Montgomery County executive spokesman Patrick Lacefield.
County Councilman George Leventhal said Police Chief Thomas Manger is reviewing the circumstances of how an illegal immigrant and MS-13 member accused of murdering a 14-year-old Silver Spring boy was released from custody just weeks before he allegedly shot Tai Lam to death on a county bus Nov. 1.
In October, Hector Mauricio Hernandez, 20, was arrested on a concealed weapons charge, but there was no federal immigration warrant for him at the time, so he was released, county officials said.
Leventhal said any policy change would come from the police department or the state’s attorney’s office and it likely would be limited to the county’s handling of immigrants accused of violent crimes or weapons offenses.

Then they must be immediately released into the custody of President Calderon driven in a stretch limo to the presidential palace where they will receive the keys to the city and money to return to the USA to do exactly as they please without any criticism or marginalization of their rights as human beings. *sniff* WHY can't we see how marginalized these poor men are! After all, 83 years? She was almost dead anyway! What rights does she have? Sean Penn will be happy to drive the limo and Madonna will be happy to give the boys a lapdance in the back. The Dixie Chicks will serenade. God bless the new America and President Comrade Obambi. /sarc
Well duh. Anyone with half a brain knew that a week ago, when the initial Washingon Post article declined to state whether they are illegal.
That was all the evidence we needed.
Obama will have made them citizens by the time their trial comes around.

Hey Montgomery County Taxpayers! Ike Legget and his buddies on the County Council are giving $2 million per year to CASA de Maryland to support the sanctuary policy of this highly enlightened Demohack burb. suckers
Committing the murders Americans are not willing to commit. Thank you Jorge Bush.
According to El President Jorge Bush — the illegal aliens from Mexico share our “family values” and are here “to do the jobs American won’t do” and I guess to kill the old women Americans won’t kill..
Illegal aliens KILL more Americans each YEAR than have been killed during the totality of the war in Afghanistan/Iraq...
Think about that.....
