The Department of Homeland Security announced the arrest of an undocumented Moldovan immigrant who is convicted of torturing, killing and throwing the victim out of a ninth-floor window.
Victoria Sorrocean, the arrested individual, was taken into custody by ICE in Los Angeles on Nov. 4. She was arrested after authorities learned about her conviction of premeditated murder with exceptional cruelty in 2013. Sorocean was sentenced to 17 years but fled the country to avoid her sentence. Sorocean and an accomplice tortured their victim inside an apartment in Chisinau, Moldova, with a stick and an electrical cable before throwing them out the window from the ninth floor. This was not the first time ICE had arrested Sorocean; she had been arrested once before on Jan. 10, 2020, under Trump’s first term. However, she delayed her removal through legal appeals and asylum claims, DHS officials said Sorocean was ultimately released back into the U.S. under the Biden administration in 2022. "It shocks the conscience that the Biden administration released into America a cruel, violent illegal alien who tortured a human being, beat them with an electrical cable and a stick and then threw her victim from a ninth-floor window," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "This does not even include foreign fugitives like this convicted murderer. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, the world’s criminals are no longer welcome in the U.S." McLaughlin said.A 16-year-old boy died after falling roughly 60-feet from a Rocky Mountain Power pole in Fruit Heights on Monday night.Stephanie Dinsmore, a spokesperson for tPresident Donald Trump said his administration will send low- and middle-income Americans $2,000 dividends using revenue generated from his tariffs.Rep.
