From Fox News: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the arrest of a Moldovan illegal immigrant and convicted killer who tortured and threw a victim out of a ninth-floor window.
Victoria Sorocean was taken into custody in Los Angeles on Nov. 4 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after authorities learned she had been convicted of premeditated murder with exceptional cruelty in 2013, ICE told Fox News on Tuesday.
According to DHS, Sorocean and an accomplice tortured their victim inside an apartment in Chisinau, Moldova, beating the person with a stick and electrical cable before throwing the victim out a ninth-floor window.
She was sentenced to 17 years in prison but fled the country to avoid serving her sentence.
ICE agents first caught Sorocean on January 10, 2020, under the first Trump administration, but her deportation was delayed after the filed multiple asylum claims and legal appeals.
The Biden administration then released her back into the U.S. in 2022.
Now, she is back in ICE custody, and once again facing deportation.
