An illegal immigrant who allegedly gouged a toddler’s face with his teeth last week was in the country because Biden-era immigration officials decided a 2023 crime was not serious enough to justify his deportation.
During an April 18 attack in a San Antonio park, Amelia Perez, who is three years old, suffered severe wounds on her face and two teeth knocked out, according to theNew York Post.
Anews releasefrom the Department of Homeland Security explained the background of the tragedy that did not need to happen.
Atharva Vyas, the 24-year-old suspect, entered the U.S. in August 2023 from India on a student visa. He made it three months before being arrested for felony assault at the University of Texas campus.

Although the college followed procedure and contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement, “the Biden Administration determined this crime was not ‘egregious’ enough to warrant visa revocation and decided to take no enforcement action against Vyas.”
After his arrest, ICE lodged a detainer to get its hands on Vyas after his trial. The Trump administration had already revoked his F-1 visa prior to the San Antonio incident based on the 2023 assault.
“This criminal illegal alien brutally bit this child and caused her to lose two teeth. This barbaric assault against this woman and her three-year-old in a park was completely preventable,” Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.
“The Biden administration NEVER should have released this animal following his arrest for assault. We are working with our partners in Texas to ensure this criminal illegal alien never roams free in American communities again,” she said.
