US Law Enforcement Sees Historic Success with Capture of Two Most Wanted Fugitives
In a breakthrough that marks a historic day for law enforcement, FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that two fugitives on the agency's list had been apprehended within hours of each other. Alejandro "Alex" Rosales Castillo, accused of a brutal 2016 murder in North Carolina, was transferred to Charlotte, North Carolina, after being arrested in Mexico last week.
Castillo, also known as "Alex", had evaded capture for nearly a decade and was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list in October 2017. His arrest in Mexico has brought closure to the family of his victim, Truc Quan "Sandy" Ly Le, who was found dead in North Carolina in August 2016.
The recent arrests mark a significant success for law enforcement under President Trump's administration, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. "We've had so many great successes because of the leadership and resources given to law enforcement," he stated at a press conference in Charlotte Friday afternoon.
Castillo was caught on January 16th in Mexico. His transfer came just hours after another fugitive from the list, Ryan Wedding, also known as "Olympic Kingpin", was returned to US custody by FBI Director Kash Patel after his arrest in Mexico yesterday evening.
The capture of these two fugitives is seen as a major victory for law enforcement and demonstrates President Trump's commitment to cracking down on crime. The FBI has been working closely with Mexican authorities to track down the fugitives and bring them to justice.
In his statement, Patel also paid tribute to Truc Quan "Sandy" Ly Le, whose family had long advocated for justice in her case. He noted that despite her untimely death, her memory would live on through the fact that her alleged killer will now face justice.
