Colorado authorities arrested an illegal immigrant Saturday for allegedly starting a string of wildfires in the state that have consumed more than 40,000 acres and has not yet been contained.
Jesper Joergensen was apprehended after the announcement was made at a community meeting, the Costilla County Sheriff’s Office confirmed. Joergensen is not a U.S. citizen and will be given to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after he faces arson charges, a Costilla County official said at the meeting.
An investigation from the Costilla County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and ICE ultimately led officials to Joergensen. It is not yet clear what nationality he holds.
“The initial cause of the fire was human caused,” the sheriff’s department said in a Facebook post. Local reports show the fire has grown 41,292 acres and is zero percent contained. The Costilla County Board of Supervisors has meanwhile declared the affected areas a disaster.
“As you can see by the plumes behind us, it’s not a great day for firefighting,” one official said during a news conference addressing the dry conditions and extreme heat that swept across Colorado.

OTM trespasser!
Yet another wonderful illegal alien.
We need more ICE!
Btw, it don’t matter a whit where this illegal is from. Illegal is illegal.
Get um out, keep them out.
Did anyone die in the fire?
I’ve looked a couple of places and can not find his home country.
Judging from the fire it might be HELL!!!!
If he’s illegal, but has crossed into the US, then he’s automatically a citizen with more Rights and Privileges than those born here as granted in the Constitution ... or so the socialist believe.
“””Swedish? Norwegian?”””
I heard he’s Danish and can you believe ALREADY the left is complaining that his nationality wasn’t mentioned as if it’s RACIST to call him an illegal and not mention his nationality as well.
There is a Jesper Joergensen in Denmark who is a retired football player, but he is too young to be the arsonist.
Makes no diff...brand him and throw him out!
Tomorrow’s headline: Dems Demand Sanctuary Forests
Danish? Finnish?
Norwegian names mostly end with SON-—NOT SEN.
Wrong-—SEN is usually the ending for Norwegian names,SON for Swedish.
.
The only thing important here that needs answering immediately: Has he been separated from his children? /sarc
idiot
Make the illegal alien invader loser hand replant the 40,000 acres at his expense...they deport him. If he doesn’t 100% cooperate, set HIM on fire.
Ends in SEN. My hunch he is Dane.
Good example of why waiting until illegal aliens are convicted of something else before they are removed is bad policy.
