A law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News that despite having an active arrest warrant for domestic violence, the local bail commissioner allowed him to be released back on bond.
ICE was on the scene and took custody of him, the source said.

The migrant’s run-ins with the law began when he was caught at the border near San Ysidro, California on July 2021.
The next day, border officials served Bento with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge and then released him back onto the streets.
