Two U.S. representatives are sounding off against immigration officials over their repeated failure to detain and deport a Mexican national accused of killing five people last month.In a letter sent to United States Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson last week, Blaine Luetkemeyer, a Missouri Republican, and Kevin Yoder, a Kansas Republican, are critical of the agency and ask for reforms so that dangerous individuals are removed from communities.The concerns were expressed in the aftermath of the multi-state murders and extensive manhunt that ended with the capture of Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino March 9.Serrano-Vitorino was an illegal immigrant who had multiple encounters with police over several years he spent in the United States. He was previously deported in April 2004, but re-entered the country illegally that same year.“After the conference call that Rep. Yoder and I had last month with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officials, we were left with lingering questions as to just how Pablo Serrano-Vitorino re-entered America and avoided deportation despite ICE’s knowledge of his presence in the United States,” said Luetkemeyer in a press release. “ICE’s failures in this case were completely unacceptable and the American people deserve answers as to how this happened and deserve to know how ICE is going to change the way it does business to make sure this never happens again.”Four of the killings occurred March 7 near Serrano-Vitorino’s residence in Kansas City, Kan. The following morning, after fleeing to Montgomery County, he shot and killed 49-year-old Randy Nordman outside his rural New Florence home.Luetkemeyer represents the 3rd Congressional District, which includes Warren and Montgomery counties, two areas that had residents on edge during the manhunt. He was captured just miles from where a vehicle he had been driving was found parked on a shoulder of eastbound Interstate 70.Serrano-Vitorino has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder — four in Kansas and one in Missouri. He also faces further felony charges in Montgomery County for armed criminal action and first-degree burglary.“This man slipped through ICE’s fingers and they admittedly stopped searching for him,” Yoder said. “He was convicted of multiple felonies, but was somehow not a priority. Now five people are dead. We’re not going to stop this inquiry until we can get some answers and pinpoint how we can stop this from happening again.”Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino
