An illegal alien from Nicaragua with an active warrant was arrested after he stabbed another man during an altercation in Wisconsin last week, according to authorities.
The disturbing incident unfolded at around 9 p.m. on Tuesday in Herman, a town in Dodge County.
Dodge County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) deputies were dispatched to a residence where they encountered a 23-year-old male whose thumb had been “nearly severed.”
Gilmer Echevarria, 32, was taken into custody and charged with First-Degree Reckless Injury/Great Bodily Harm and Substantial/Aggravated Battery.
He was also booked on an unrelated outstanding warrant.
The victim was transported via ambulance to a local hospital.
Following treatment, the victim was also arrested on outstanding warrants.
His identity and immigration status have not been made public.
“It has since been discovered that the suspect in this incident has no legal status in the US. Gilmer Echevarria is a Nicaraguan who already has immigration proceedings occurring. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency has been made aware, subsequent to his arrest,” DCSO explained in a press release on Friday.
“This is the second serious incident that occurred this week in which a subject with no legal status has committed serious criminal infractions in Dodge County.”
On Jan. 26, a previously-deported illegal alien was arrested for killing one and injuring members of a family during a suspected drunk driving crash in Dodge County, as InfoWars previously reported.
“This is an incident that never should have occurred. Individuals in our country continue to blatantly violate Federal Immigration Laws and individuals at the Federal level have failed to protect our citizens by properly enforcing the federal immigration laws,” Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt stated following the fatal wreck.
“This is one of many incidents that angers me as the sheriff, and the community needs to know how the federal government has failed our community in the past by failing to properly enforce immigration laws in our country. I look forward to the new administration that has finally taken steps to take this significant risk to public safety, seriously.”
InfoWars has been documenting the surge of crime fueled by the Biden-Harris border invasion.
