Authorities tracked a wanted man, reportedly part of the MS-13 gang, to Colorado.

ICE announced the deportation of 23-year-old Oscar Antonio Rosas-Alas. He was located and arrested in Eagle County in March of 2018. He was deported on Wednesday.

Rosas-Alas was wanted in his home country of El Salvador for aggravated extortion. Authorities say he entered the country illegally and made his way to Colorado where he "gained the attention of local peace officers."

“Our ICE officers aggressively work to remove dangerous criminal aliens from the United States, such as Rosas-Alas,” said Jeffrey D. Lynch, field office director for ERO Denver. “ICE prioritizes removing known gang members and fugitive criminal aliens so they can face justice in their home country.”

Rosas-Alas was flown on an ICE Air Operations charter flight to Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport in San Salvador, El Salvador. Upon arrival, Rosas-Alas was transferred to the custody of El Salvador’s Policia Nacional Civil.
