An illegal migrant set free under the Biden administration was arrested in connection with a suspicious death in Georgia, now accused of choking a mother to death.
Hector David Sagastume Rivas, 21, of Marietta, is accused of physically assaulting 52-year-old mother-of-five and grandmother Camilla Williams in a random attack earlier this month, leading to her death, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.

‘He doesn’t need to be deported, he needs to be exported – executed – the same way he executed my sister,’ Tony Williams, Camilla’s brother, told Atlanta News First.
On March 13, Cobb County police responded to a call at 282 Pat Mell Road, where they found Williams’ body dumped in a wooded area, hidden among some bushes.
The unprovoked murder, authorities said, happened between 11pm and 1am the day before the gruesome discovery.

Although authorities have not established any connection between the two, Williams’ family has reported that in the days leading up to her death, she was being followed by a man, The New York Post reported.
Rivas entered the US illegally on March 17, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News, and was arrested by the US Border Patrol before being released.
According to ICE, he has since been the subject of a deportation order since July 2023, the NY Post reported.
‘He was issued a notice to appear and paroled into the country by the previous administration,’ the statement said.

‘ICE has lodged an immigration detainer with the Cobb County Jail. President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow criminal illegal aliens – including accused murderers – to be loose on America’s streets.’
ICE said that Rivas was living with two other undocumented immigrants, both of whom have also been arrested and detained by the Department of Homeland Security, Atlanta News First reported.
Officers with the Cobb County Police Department spent at least two days in the neighborhood gathering evidence, as both residents and employees in the area demanded answers into the investigation.
Rivas has been arrested and charged with felony murder and aggravated assault, where he is now being held without bond.

The incident sparked widespread outrage and raised concerns over the administration’s policies regarding the release of undocumented individuals into the community, as Williams’ death has drawn parallels to the murder of Laken Riley.
Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, was killed on the University of Georgia’s campus while jogging in February of 2024.
Police confirmed that she was killed by ‘blunt force trauma,’ after her body was discovered in a field on the Athens campus.
Illegal Venezuelan immigrant Jose Antonio Ibarra was arrested and convicted of her murder in November.
The 26-year-old crossed into El Paso, Texas in September 2022 but had been released from a detention center due to a lack of space.
The Department of Homeland Security also confirmed Ibarra as a member of the brutal gang, Tren de Aragua, who have reached national news committing gruesome crimes across America.
He denied murdering Riley. However, when police officer Rafael Sayan visited Ibarra’s home to ask about the crime, he found Ibarra and his brothers laughing and giggling, striking him as highly suspicious.

It remains unclear if Rivas faces detainment and deportation under the act, as the investigation is still active and ongoing.
Anyone with information related to the case is urged to contact the Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit at 770-499-3945 or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477).
‘You hear about it, but it doesn’t affect you until it happens to your family,’ Arsene Willams told Atlanta News First.
‘You never think it will happen to your family, but it can.’
