FIRST ON FOX : Federal immigration officials are asking authorities in the Miami area to honor a detainer request for an illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal history who is now charged with fatally shooting a man on the street in an alleged act of jealousy.

William Serrano Domenech, 49, is being held in a Miami-Dade County jail in connection with the Aug.

17 murder of 42-year-old Raul Aballe , the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.

"He has a rap sheet a mile long, with prior convictions in Florida and Michigan for drug trafficking and illegal possession of a firearm, as well as prior arrests in New Mexico and Tennessee for aggravated assault, theft, and resisting arrest," Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"This dangerous criminal should have never been in our country, and had it not been for the Biden Administration releasing him from ICE custody in 2023, Raul Aballe would still be alive."
