An illegal immigrant was just charged in a shooting in Alabama as the country endures an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis.
Mexican national and illegal immigrant Alberto Martinez-Fidel was charged in the non-lethal shooting of a man in Montgomery, Alabama. Martinez-Fidel was charged with first-degree assault after allegedly repeatedly shooting a man with a handgun at close range, wounding him after striking the alleged victim in the back and buttocks. Martinez-Fidel’s bond was set at $30,000.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed in a statement that Martinez-Fidel is a Mexican national who is illegally present in the United States.
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations filed a detainer on Alberto Martinez-Fidel, 46, an unlawfully present Mexican national Aug. 5, 2024, after his arrest by the Montgomery Police Department. ICE does not have any previous immigration information on this individual,” ICE explained in a statement.

The arrest of Martinez-Fidel comes as the United States has experienced a wave of illegal immigrant crime. Concerns about these crimes reached a fever pitch earlier this year after the tragic death of Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student who was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant named Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan national.
There is also the case of Joceyln Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl from Houston, Texas who was allegedly murdered by two illegal immigrants who entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration.
A Honduran illegal immigrant was also charged in connection to the murder of Kristie Thibodeaux, a tour guide in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
One El Salvadoran illegal alien and MS-13 member who was wanted for murder was recently arrested in South Carolina shortly after an illegal immigrant from Guatemala was charged with sexual battery after allegedly assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
The various arrests come as two other illegal immigrant murder suspects who were wanted by the international police were recently apprehended in Texas by the Splendora Police Department, which worked in conjunction with federal authorities. The two illegal immigrants both lived in Colony Ridge, a massive land development north of Houston that has become infamous for tailoring its financial and marketing practices to attract illegal immigrants.
Texas authorities arrested another illegal immigrant this year after he allegedly killed two people inside a Chick-fil-A restaurant.
More than 10 million people have crossed the border during the Biden-Harris administration, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded. There were 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 under the Trump administration.
Public opinion polling has found that voters support many of Trump’s key campaign promises on illegal immigration, including increasing deportations, building the border wall, and penalizing businesses that hire illegal immigrants instead of Americans.
