The mainstream media is going to skip over some important details in reports about a shooting in Texas this week:
Five people are dead after being shot in a Texas home by a suspect armed with an AR-15 style rifle in a horrific series of “execution style” shootings, police said.
A manhunt is currently underway for the suspect, identified by the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office as 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza. The FBI’s Houston Field Office said it is assisting in the ongoing search.
A judge has issued an arrest warrant for Oropeza and assigned a $5 million bond. He is believed to have fled the county and is considered armed and dangerous, authorities said.
Democrats will blame the gun and a lack of certain laws, but Fox News’ Bill Melugin reports that part of the problem is that existing laws aren’t being enforced:
NEW: Per ICE source, Francisco Oropesa, the Mexican national who police who say fatally shot 5 of his neighbors in TX, is in the U.S. illegally. I’m told he’s been previously deported, has “multiple” illegal re-entries on his record, and was last encountered by ICE in 2016. pic.twitter.com/JX40Pj0mc7

I reached out to ICE early this morning for a comment/statement, and have received no response so far. I will update if & when I do. Oropesa remains on the run. https://t.co/8DEcXSTQOt

So the killer was reportedly in the country illegally multiple times, which means he illegally had a gun, and yet the Left will claim more laws could have prevented this? What a surprise.
NEW: Per a second DHS source, Oropesa was deported five times between 2009-2016.

According to DHS Secretary Mayorkas, the border is totally secure.
Woah. This is horrible. So we don’t even know when he last entered the country?

We're thinking 4 firearms ago since that is how many he acquired illegally.

The Dems keep wanting “more laws” when these tragic situations could be reduced if they’d only support enforcing the existing ones.
So … it was illegal for him because he was not a legal citizen to have any firearm.

For the politicians on the left, what gun law would have prevented this shooting?
Ill wait. https://t.co/nX5yQ8Whsj

Can somebody at least ask DHS Secretary Mayorkas to justify his “the border is secure” BS at this point?
If @JoeBiden did his job to secure our border and protect Americans, innocent lives would not have been lost.
What's it going to take for Biden to give a damn and do his job? https://t.co/8M2VYY6Nak

Biden's border crisis is deadly. Illegal aliens committing violent crimes is infuriating to citizens and PURELY the result of purposeful gov't policy. https://t.co/XLkcdDe52Y

Remember all the leftist loons who, when this story first broke, screamed to take away our guns?
I do! https://t.co/QuhXzIyxix

Oh, hey @AP – You can update your "Texas man" headline now. https://t.co/UuIZlYcua1

There should be a law against illegally entering the U.S. and illegally acquiring firearms… oh, wait…
