Illegal immigrant who shot of Texas cop was slated for ‘expedited removal’ in 2023, but judge let him stay: report

It has been revealed that the illegal immigrant who allegedly shot a police officer in San Antonio, Texas over the weekend had nearly been deported, but was spared and allowed to remain in the United States by a judge after claiming he would face persecution if he was forced to return home to Venezuela. Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, 25, first entered the country in November 2023.

On Sunday, the Venezuelan national died after being involved in a shootout with police during a domestic violence call.  The officer in question was shot multiple times but survived, and is recovering from her injuries.
