 LOS ANGELES (AP) - A fugitive considered one of Mexico's most dangerous criminals was deported Tuesday after being arrested in Southern California, nearly 19 years after a sensational armed escape from a Mexican prison courtroom, immigration officials said.
Alfredo Rios Galeana was surprised by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents Monday afternoon at his home in the city of South Gate just south of Los Angeles, said agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice.
His arrest on immigration violations resulted from a multi-agency investigation by authorities in the U.S. and Mexico, she said.
