Welcome to Roy Cooper’s Worst of the Worst Wednesday.
Luis Analberto Pineda-Anchecta is an illegal from Honduras who was deported in 2006 after illegally crossing into the United States, then charged with illegal re-entry in 2019, and later convicted of kidnapping.
ICE had issued a detainer for Pineda-Anchecta in North Carolina after he was arrested on several charges including assaulting and threatening his ex-girlfriend.
Thanks to Roy Cooper turning North Carolina into a sanctuary state, Pineda-Anchecta was released from jail by Cooper’s Democrat allies just two days after his arrest, despite ICE placing a detainer on him. Cooper’s fellow Democrat, sanctuary county Sheriff Garry McFadden, refused to honor ICE’s detainer.
After being released, Pineda-Anchecta kidnapped his ex-girlfriend and planned to kill her. Pineda-Anchecta stuffed a cloth in her mouth, wrapped a cord or rope around her head, forced her into the passenger seat of a vehicle, and told her “I love you and I’m going to kill you.”
Then, Pineda-Anchecta engaged in a dangerous standoff with law enforcement. He was re-arrested on charges of assault on a female, communicating threats, assault on a person by strangulation, and inflicting physical injury, violation of a domestic violence order, and first degree kidnapping.
ICE issued another detainer, but once again Sheriff McFadden was able to refuse to cooperate with ICE and released the dangerous illegal. McFadden did not notify ICE of the release.
Thankfully, ICE apprehended Pineda-Anchecta along with an accomplice in a car that contained ammunition and firearms.
“Pineda-Anchecta is just another one of Roy Cooper’s criminal illegal scumbags who put more North Carolinians in danger and law enforcement lives on the line because of Cooper’s soft-on-crime agenda,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
