Jones also disclosed that Garcia-Gutierrez is currently being held on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer. "That person would be alive today, and if you don’t think that it’s affecting you in Butler County, Ohio, we’re all border states; we’re all border counties. It’s here, and we could go on and on," Jones stated.

The Sheriff further questioned the extent of Garcia-Gutierrez's criminal activities, stating, "Who knows how many people this guy has been involved in and has killed? Here in the United States, in our jail, he's had two or three weapons charges, he's had domestic violence [charges]… driving while intoxicated. We don't know how many he's killed in Mexico."
Jones confirmed that Garcia-Gutierrez had been deported seven times and had been intercepted at the border on another occasion before being returned to Mexico. He also revealed that nearly 1,000 illegal aliens facing state charges have been held in their jail since July 2021.

"Our border is broken, and these individuals are the cause of it," Jones said, pointing to photographs of President Biden, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. "He actually doesn’t run Mexico, it’s the drug cartel," Jones added. "We’ve got to stop this border invasion, it’s killing us and its killing innocent people."
