Illegal Immigrant Who Escaped From a Venezuela Prison Was Arrested in Buffalo Over the Weekend
Townhall ^ | March 10, 2025 | Rebecca Downs

One of President Donald Trump's top priorities, as well as best issues, has been his crackdown on illegal immigration. As he has warned, criminals from countries in Central America and South America have been coming over illegally from prisons. While the left, including in the mainstream media, have mocked Trump for such narratives, these warnings have proven to be true.

Over the weekend, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, Gleiber Teran-Figueroa was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Buffalo. He had previously robbed a bank and escaped a prison in his home country after being convicted of theft, a senior administration official with the Trump administration shared exclusively with Townhall. The arrest took place on Saturday.

That ICE would be cracking down on arresting illegal immigrants across the country under the Trump administration is hardly shocking, given how the president made it a priority on the campaign trail and during both of his administrations. It was also a top issue for voters especially leading into the 2024 election, and whether Trump was running against President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris as the replacement nominee, he consistently bested his opponent. His handling of immigration, as well as his deportation programs, remain popular, as a CBS News poll from last week showed.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has spoken about the priority of arresting and deporting illegal criminals and has even suited up to do so herself.

Noem also appeared on CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday to tout the administration's efforts on immigration. She spoke about ICE throughout the segment, including how she's "expanding" efforts and naming new personnel members.

If he was arrested in Buffalo, chances are he was on his way from, or to, Canada

Buffalo?
The Biden admin flew many illegals there.
The secret flights they said “totally weren’t happening” had people going to Buffalo, often.

Dropping this criminal from a helicopter to feed the sharks would be a lot faster, cheaper, and nobody would ever know. The world would be a better place.

I agree. The Obamites deliberately flew prison loads of criminals in here to kill off US citizens because the covid bioweapon didn’t cull the herd sufficiently.

We have learned that when these perversely twisted sisters are chuckling, holding their sides, rocking and using words like “conspiracy theory” “tin foil!” and the like—that means some screwball is directly over their ball bearing factory.

We need to flood the zone with this type reporting and get the tariff/economy restless to calm down. It hasn't even been 2 months. Remember why you voted for him, make a list and compare it to the steps he's taken to fulfill it.

Will it be an Obama or Biden judge that orders him released?

Did he escape or did Jo Jo Pedo’s autopen automatically pardon him?

I was thinking this one is the exception to Trump’s statement “they’re opening their prisons, their emptying their mental hospitals and sending the people to our country.”

Wonder if you’re right. US had 2-5,000 escapes a year, counting local, state and federal lockups.

Famous one. Ted Bundy was interviewed about his second escape.
