US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged an immigration detainer against an 18-year-old Salvadoran national accused of two fatal shootings in Houston. The action means ICE has asked to be notified before he is released from local custody, potentially allowing federal immigration authorities to take custody of him.

The article says the Department of Homeland Security announced the detainer on Friday. It frames the case within wider concerns about violent crime involving undocumented migrants, although the available text does not provide further details of the alleged shootings, victims or charges.
