NEW: Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect arrested for using a sledgehammer to behead a WW2 Iwo Jima monument in Quantico, VA on Tuesday is a Mexican illegal alien & former DACA recipient whose legal status expired this year.
Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano has now been charged with felony destruction of property and trespass with intent to damage property.
Per federal sources, Soriano illegally crossed into the U.S. in December 1999. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration in 2014 and had it extended for years, most recently by the Biden admin in 2024, but he lost his DACA status in August of this year when it wasn’t renewed by the Trump administration.

Nearly one year ago, newlyweds Billy and Jenny were killed by an illegal alien driving a commercial truck. He should never have been in the United States in the first place, let alone behind the wheel.
He entered the U.S. illegally in 2022, was released under Biden, and received work authorization and a non-domiciled commercial driver’s license in California.
Billy and Jenny had been married just 16 days when their lives were tragically taken from them. Their families, along with countless other Angel Families, have been left with unimaginable loss. Loss that was preventable.
This is our why.
Yesterday, the @HSTaskForce apprehended Jennifer Gonzalez, the alleged mastermind behind a marriage fraud scheme that grossed at least $6 MILLION over ten years.
Gonzalez allegedly arranged at least 18 sham marriages for illegals seeking U.S. citizenship, as well as committing SNAP, housing, and unemployment fraud – then using her pillaged profits to invest in the Dominican Republic.
We will not stand by while fraudsters take advantage of programs meant for citizens in need; the days of looking the other way are over.

Radical sanctuary city politicians have spent days screaming obscenities at ICE officers for their arrest of this individual shown CLEARLY tackling a law enforcement officer to the ground.
There is no place in our society for attacks on law enforcement.
Human smugglers, drug dealers, thieves.
Every single crime committed by an illegal alien is 100% preventable, because they should have never been in our country to begin with. We are committed to ending this invasion.
These are just some of the illegal aliens @ICEGov arrested yesterday. 🧵
Juan Jose Jurado-Gonzalez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for possession with intent to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine in Richmond, Virginia.
The men and women of @ICEgov are working across the country America Safe Again!
Because of four years of open borders and efforts to move illegal aliens all over the country, no state escaped the negative impacts of mass migration.
Even hundreds of miles away from the border, illegal aliens have wreaked havoc by engaging in assaults, sexual exploitation, and drunk driving.
Here are just a few of the worst offenders apprehended in Iowa this month. 🧵
Cristian Sneider Garcia-Salas, an illegal alien from Colombia, arrested by ICE on October 7. His criminal history includes convictions for assault, public intoxication, and possession of a controlled substance. He illegally entered the United States through Arizona in October 2021 and was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol. He was then RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration.
Jefri Cap Villagran, an illegal alien from Guatemala, arrested by ICE on October 15. His criminal history includes convictions for operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest, assault by a confined person, and eluding while exceeding speed limit by 25 miles per hour or more, and arrests for possession of a dangerous weapon, operating while under the influence, eluding, criminal mischief, and interfering with official acts. He illegally entered the United States at an unknown date and location and was deported in September 2012 after an Immigration Judge issued him a final order of removal on September 5, 2012. He then illegally re-entered the country – a felony – at an unknown date and location.

The @DHSgov @FPSDHS Region 4 federal law enforcement officers were first on scene, secured the area, coordinated with law enforcement partners, and helped ensure the safety of federal employees, visitors, and the public.
This latest attack in Atlanta is part of a dangerous and unacceptable escalation of violence against the men and women of @ICEGov who are simply enforcing the laws of the United States.
Irresponsible rhetoric from sanctuary politicians and radical activists has contributed to a massive increase in violence and threats against federal law enforcement officers performing their Congressionally mandated duties. ICE officers are facing a more than 1,600% increase in assaults against them.
Assaults on our officers and facilities will not be tolerated. Anyone who targets federal law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
