ICE overrode judge’s decision blocking José Serrano’s removal.
Ex-Ecuadorian minister José Serrano, accused of aiding a cartel murder presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio in 2023, has been deported by ICE.
Ecuadorian conservative Presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio was assassinated at a campaign rally in August 2023.
Fernando Villavicencio was reportedly shot in the head three times.
Supporters of the popular conservative, Fernando Villavicencio, managed to capture a suspect after the assassination.
A grenade was also found at the scene.
The criminal gang “Los Lobos,” based in Ecuador, later claimed responsibility for the assassination.
José Serrano’s removal took place even after a US judge blocked Serrano’s removal arguing he may be tortured if returned to the South American nation.
