A twice-deported illegal immigrant with a rap sheet allegedly brutally stabbed a man on a Charlotte, North Carolina, train.
Honduran illegal immigrant Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia is accused of stabbing a man with a “large fixed-blade knife” on a light rail train Friday, leaving him in critical condition, according to the Charlotte Observer.
He was first deported from the United States on March 9, 2018, before he crossed the border illegally again and was removed in 2021, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Solorzano-Garcia snuck back in undetected for a third time on an unknown date.
He was previously arrested for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, destroying evidence, resisting arrest, using a false ID, and has convictions for robbery and illegal re-entry.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called it a “heinous” attack, saying that her agency has taken action to ensure he faces justice.

“ICE lodged an arrest detainer to ensure Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia is not released back into North Carolina neighborhoods,” Noem said. “Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the county will honor the detainer since they have a history of not cooperating with ICE.”
“Under President Trump, ICE is being unleashed to ensure public safety for all Americans. Make no mistake: We will not rest until every depraved criminal illegal alien is removed from our communities,” Noem said.
Both President Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy commented on the incident:

The latest stabbing comes just four months after the unprovoked murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, 23, in Charlotte.
Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly stabbed Zarutska repeatedly in the neck as she was commuting from her job at a local pizza joint.
Last month, the Trump administration deployed federal immigration agents to Charlotte, leading to hundreds of arrests of illegal immigrants in response to local sanctuary policies.
