Hey, remember Cristian Fajardo Mondragon, one of three teenagers arrested in that Austin shooting spree that happened all of four days ago? Turns out he’s an illegal alien with an ICE detainer.
A 17-year-old suspect arrested in connection with a weekend shooting rampage across Austin that left four people injured is now facing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer.
Cristian Fajardo Mondragon appeared in court Tuesday where prosecutors revealed he is not a U.S. citizen and has an active ICE hold. He was also on probation through the juvenile justice system at the time of his arrest and has a juvenile detainer.
Austin Police arrested three suspects—Mondragon, 17, and two additional juveniles aged 15 and 16—in connection with 12 separate shooting incidents that occurred between Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17. The shooting spree injured four people, including one victim who remains in critical condition at a trauma center.
The violent crime wave also struck five vehicles, four homes, two Austin Fire Department stations, and three fire trucks. Police say the suspects stole at least five vehicles during the spree and may have switched between them multiple times.
Mondragon has been charged with six felonies including two counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, two counts of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, theft of firearms, and evading arrest with a motor vehicle. He is being held without bond.
According to authorities, Mondragon had an active warrant for stealing a firearm from the same store where the 15-year-old suspect allegedly stole another gun on Saturday. The two younger suspects have not been publicly identified due to their juvenile status.
Mondragon seems to be just the sort of illegal alien felon Democrats want to defend with their dying breath. Another report says that Mondragon “has no bond.” I rather strongly suspect that if Mondragon and company’s crime spree hadn’t been so high profile as to trigger shelter in place alerts on people’s iPhones, Soros-backed Travis County DA Jose Garza would already be working on a way to get him back on the street as quickly as possible.
Democrats also claim to be against “gun violence,” yet when their precious felons do commit crimes with guns, soft-on-crime blue city prosecutors quickly turn them back out on the street to re-offend. Mondragon should have been held and/or deported after his first gun theft.
Convict him, deport him and any illegal alien family members, and if his crime spree friends are illegal aliens too, deport them and their families as well.

The Left has to have high amounts of gun violence to convince enough centrist voters to give them all of the gun control they want. The end goal is total repeal of the 2A so that they are then free to run roughshod over our liberties.
“Convict him, deport him and any illegal alien family members”
And don’t forget to take a hard look at any family members who may happen to have valid visas (or even citizenship) to see if there are ground for revoking those and sending them home as well.
Related, Cambridge City Council voted 5-2 to disable their gunshot detectors. Now, I didn’t know towns were deploying these. I know the military has them. So, I’m surprised they paid to install them at all and now want to disable them. Why do that? Because the gunshots detectors are identifying minority assailants. That’s interesting, because I would think it would be racists to turn them off when the victims are likely minorities that live in those neighborhoods.
re: gunshot detectors
Many cities have been employing them for several years, even in flyover cities that you wouldn’t think would need them. They’re typically only employed in high crime areas, which tend to be more minority-majoriy areas. Since loud noises are indiscriminate they’re only “racist” because of where they’re deployed.
“Convict him, deport him and any illegal alien family members”, if guilty, why not straight to the gallows? Texas and the US have gone soft.
Seems like a good candidate for incarceration in El Salvador.
“Democrats also claim to be against ‘gun violence’, yet when their precious felons do commit crimes with guns, soft-on-crime blue city prosecutors quickly turn them back out on the street to re-offend.”
This is not an anomaly; it is an essential element of Democrat power. Punks like Mondragon are cherished foot soldiers in the Left’s war on bourgeois society, which is why he was sprung from jail in great haste when it became evident he stole a gun. Murder and mayhem were ripening in Mondragon’s wicked heart and it was imperative that he be put back into action ASAP.
The Cambridge City Council’s vote is rather ironic given they just had a nut case firing ~60 shots at random on Memorial Drive. a major thoroughfare of the fair city of Cambridge. Whether Shotspotter reported that issue is not disclosed as far as I can tell.
