Fugitive Murder Suspect from El Salvador Deported by Feds

March 28, 2025

DENVER, CO – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported Salvadoran national and fugitive Jose Eduardo Moran-Garcia, 28, to El Salvador. Moran is wanted in his home country on charges of aggravated homicide, forced displacement, unlawful groupings, and aggravated robbery.

Robert Guadian, Director of the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Denver Field Office, announced Moran’s successful extradition to El Salvador. The operation highlights the cooperation between the involved nations and law enforcement agencies to ensure that fugitives face justice.

Moran entered the U.S. at an undisclosed date and location without undergoing inspection by immigration officers. He was later arrested on October 16, 2023, in Whittier, California, and detained at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, Colorado, until his removal.

ICE completed the operation with assistance from ERO El Salvador and the Security Alliance for Fugitive Enforcement taskforce. To report crimes or suspicious activities, the public can contact ICE at 866-DHS-2-ICE or submit an online tip.
