William Quintanilla Moreno/El Salvador/Accessory After the Fact–First Degree Murder

ICE New Orleans deported William Quintanilla Moreno, a citizen of El Salvador and an illegal alien in the United States, following his conviction for accessory after the fact to first degree murder.

Quintanilla Moreno was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in aiding a principal offender after the commission of a homicide. His actions included providing assistance to the perpetrator in avoiding detection, apprehension, and prosecution.

The underlying murder case involved significant investigative resources, and his conviction reflected the seriousness of obstructing justice in such a violent crime. Following completion of his prison term, immigration authorities assumed custody and initiated removal proceedings based on his aggravated felony conviction, which rendered him deportable under U.S. immigration law.

He was transported to El Salvador and transferred to Salvadoran law enforcement officials for any further legal actions under their jurisdiction. His deportation eliminates his ability to re-offend within the United States and places him back under the authority of his home country’s judicial system.
