ICE lets suspect in $100m jewelry heist leave US Anonymous 02/07/26(Sat)19:05:38 No.1487367 [Reply]▶

Federal immigration authorities allowed a suspect in a $100m jewelry heist believed to be the largest in US history to deport himself to South America in December, a move that stunned and upset prosecutors who were planning to try the case and send him to prison.
Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores was one of seven people charged last year with stalking an armored truck to a rural freeway rest stop north of Los Angeles and stealing millions worth of diamonds, emeralds, gold, rubies and designer watches in 2022.
Flores faced up to 15 years in federal prison if convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit theft from interstate and foreign shipment and theft from interstate and foreign shipment. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported Flores in late December after he requested voluntary departure, prosecutors said in court filings.
ICE did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

He "self-deported". He walked up to an ICE agent and announced that he was here illegally and wished to return home. They never ID'd hinm or went through any judicial process ... because they never do ... and sent him to Ecuador, where he cannot be touched by the US courts.
I'm sure he left behind a 15% gratuity. Also, this is a great tactic if you are guity as sin of something and need to leave the US in a hurry.
Yes, everything Trump does is really that stupid.

If they haven't already recovered the stolen goods, they weren't going to. Suspect doesn't equal convicted if the evidence is lacking.
>oh no we deported someone never to return instead of giving them a 2 year sentence
I'm all for punishing criminals, and exile is a punishment.

They did. The problem is this basically meant he was able to take a free vacation back home instead of spending a decade and a half in prison for stealing over $100m AND they can't use him to get at the rest of the crew.

Retard he was set for 15 years. And if the jewels were never recovered, he can literally just direct someone else to pawn them in his group. He basically got off scot-free and got a free pass to flee the country like he was already likely planning to.

He literally would've fled the country regardless you retard. Either he successfully stole 100 million in jewels and got away with it completely (seeing as the stuff wasn't recovered) or at the very least completely dodged any meaningful punishment.

Retard if someone steals shit from my house and the authorities let him leave, even though we don't even know where the stuff he stole is, because "kicking him out is punishment enough" I'm gonna be pissed. He was gonna flee the country regardless.

the evidence of Trump's and your credibility is lacking, troon shill who will be politically exiled in elections this year, as Miami & Texas proves.
I'm all for punishing rightard criminals, and politically destroying Trump & MAGAts is punishment. As that link above proves, by folding like a lawn chair to Minnesota, Trump & ICE are punished.

What's the alternative?
The US gov can't kill him otherwise you would cry about it.
Letting him stay would let him still more shit.
It's been four years since the goods were stolen, which means they were probably fenced and/or melted down.
I don't care where he goes so long as he doesn't remain here.

A round of applause for modern liberalism, everyone

>rightwing retard that needs to invent realities where he wasn’t arrested and charged
Honestly I’m not surprised you’re a trump supporter because only somebody this stupid could confidently vomit something so false and try to pass it off as fact. Please self deport in front of an oncoming train

you are so close to getting it.
This is about ICE interfering with the US LE and court system. The suspect stole millions in a jewel heist in the US. Rather than face justice, he got ICE to send him to South America. They directly interfered with the people who are trying to do their jobs to bring criminals to justice.

I thought people were dead in Minneapolis because they didn't let them get away with it
They didn't let Good hit the gas and run over a police officer while escaping law enforcement. They didn't let Pretty provoke fights at the protest while he was armed either

>I think the police should be able to pin you down and execute you for 'provoking fights', because I am so stupid it is genuinely scary I have unrestricted interned access. It's really hard to talk with a fascist pedophiles balls in my mouth, but I'm getting pretty good at it.

Pretti brought a cheap and notoriously dangerous firearm to a political rally, he was armed while he got into the previous confrontation with law enforcement where he kicked out their tail light, and his cheap and dangerous fire arm negligently discharging is what ultimately lead to his death.
This is like dying in a car crash in 1960 because you were too cheap to spend $10 to get seatbelts in your car (before seatbelts were mandatory)

they didn't interfear with shit you want ice to only deport people when its convenient to you AFTER YOU let them into the country. fuck off you hypocrite.

We literally have a report from the DHS that says outright the only guns that were fired were from two ICE agents.
>https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/two-federal-officers-fired-guns- alex-pretti-shooting-dhs-report-rcn a256274
The whole idea that his gun accidentally went off was never even an official position in the first place. It was based entirely on the brand instead of the multiple pieces of video evidence.

>>1487367
Yeah, just like rapists and murderers should be executed instead of deported as well.
Antiwhites should also be deported from the West, and if they move to any Western country afterwards, they should be executed.

doesn't change the fact he was trying to assault federal law enforcement while trying to grab their guns. funny how the only people who've been shot out of thousands was one psychotic karen who ran a car into an officer to the point he had internal bleeding. and a deranged lunatic who came armed and threatened law enforcement then tried to reach for their firearms when he was pinned down.
justified shooting they were threats to democracy and society

The Sig Sauer P320 has faced reports of “uncommanded discharges” due to external factors affecting the trigger, something the company has denied.
The handgun, which is used extensively by US civilians and law enforcement — including ICE, has no external safety lever.
“It was 100% an accidental discharge by the agent that relieved that person of their weapon. Because everyone’s guns were out, they think that there’s a shooting,” one source said.

You know we have eyes right?
>>1487615
Yes, the gun he had has a history of uncommanded discharges. Did it happen here? No, and not even DHS is trying to claim it did. They literally have his gun; if it was discharged, you really think they wouldn't note that in their own report?
