Man arrested by ICE in Connecticut was wanted for murder in Mexico
CONNECTICUT (WTNH) — A man wanted for allegedly murdering a law enforcement officer in Mexico was arrested while attempting to hide out in Connecticut, according to Homeland Security officials Tuesday. Officials said Orlando Diaz-Cebada- also known as 'El Leches'- is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico and member of a gang known for drug trafficking, the Los Pochos gang. He was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on June 12. Woman detained by ICE in New Haven, officials say 'Thanks to our brave ICE law enforcement and federal partners, this criminal illegal alien fugitive wanted for murdering a law enforcement official in Mexico is off America's streets. This heinous murderer attempted to evade justice by hiding out in Connecticut,' Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. Homeland Security officials said Mexican authorities had an arrest warrant for Diaz-Cebada, for aggravated homicide as of April 23, 2024. He was previously deported by U.S. Border Patrol on May 22, 2024, after illegally entering the U.S. He was deported again two days later when he allegedly attempted to re-enter the U.S. Officials said he illegally re-entered for a third time on an unknown date, and from an unknown location. This ultimately led to his arrest nearly two weeks ago. As of Tuesday, officials say he remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
