It wasn’t enough for the Biden Administration to catch and then release Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Ibarra, suspected of murdering nursing student Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia.
Nor was it enough for the administration to do the same with his criminal brother Diego, a green-card fraudster.
It also released his brother Argenis, another estimable “undocumented migrant” whom President Joe Biden welcomed with open arms.

More disturbingly, court documents say Diego is linked to the dangerous gang believed to be responsible for the mauling of two New York City cops.
Arrested With Brothers
“Argenis Ibarra, 24, was apprehended in Athens by ICE agents on Feb. 23, the same day that his brothers Jose and Diego Ibarra were also taken into custody during the investigation into Riley’s death at the university’s intramural fields,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, citing Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Cops arrested Diego on February 23, the day after Riley’s murder. He had passed a fake green card to get a job at the University of Georgia. Argenis was arrested the same day.
But “ICE said Argenis Ibarra is in custody at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, ‘pending further investigation of his immigration case.’ The agency said he is due to attend an immigration hearing ‘later in 2024’ in Philadelphia,” the AJC reported.
Remarkably, the newspaper continued, the Biden administration actually did the right thing when border agents bagged Diego and Argenis on April 3 last year and returned them to Mexico.
But that resolve didn’t last:
Diego and Argenis Ibarra both reentered the United States illegally on April 30, 2023, near El Paso, Texas, ICE confirmed. It said Argenis Ibarra was released from the custody of U.S. Border Patrol “with a notice to appear” on May 4, 2023.
Diego Ibarra was placed by ICE in its Alternatives to Detention program on May 11, 2023, and released from custody the following day with the requirement that he wear an ankle monitor, the agency said. It said he was removed from the program and listed as an absconder on May 25, 2023, after cutting off his ankle monitor, which was ultimately located on the side of a road in Colorado.
Gang Affiliation
But Diego is more than a run-of-mill shoplifter, a federal motion for detention says. When border agents encountered him and four other illegal-alien thugs on April 30, he attacked an agent and tried to bite him.
Cops nailed him for drunk driving on September 24, 2023. Two days later, he was involved in a “domestic incident” during which, his girlfriend said, he slapped her after taking her cell phone. After that, he shoplifted twice at the same Walmart, once in October and again in December.
But the document also said he’s affiliated with Tren de Aragua (TdA), “a Venezuelan gang, which has been involved in recent violent confrontations with law enforcement and civilian victims in New York and elsewhere throughout the United States.” With some 5,000 members, TdA is the largest organized crime outfit in Venezuela.
Those “violent confrontations” include the gang-beating of two cops in New York City in January. The gang uses low-tech means to carry out high-tech street robberies.
