Prince George’s County police released a previously deported illegal immigrant with a violent criminal history on his own recognizance in September after charging him with assault and disturbing the peace, federal officials said in court documents.
Federal authorities were led to Diego Zacarias Vasquez’s Mount Rainier home after receiving a tip from a source in Fairfax County that Vasquez was in the country illegally, according to a sworn statement by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Yusuf Adeen. Vasquez was arrested Thursday on charges of illegal re-entry and is being held without bail.
