The man with a blowtorch who was stopped by citizens last week after allegedly trying to start fires in a Los Angeles neighborhood is an illegal immigrant, according to a report Sunday night. 

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva is a Mexican national in the country illegally. Melugin shared the information in a post on X, stating that he received the information from insider sources at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
