Luis Bracamontes, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was convicted of murdering two sheriff’s deputies in Sacramento, California, in 2014. Bracamontes, who had previously been deported multiple times, carried out a violent shooting spree that left Deputy Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis Jr. dead. During his 2018 trial, he showed no remorse, even boasting about the killings and threatening to kill more officers in the future. His violent past and repeated illegal reentries into the United States drew widespread national attention.
In 2018, a jury found Bracamontes guilty of murder, attempted murder, and other charges. He was sentenced to death in March 2018 after a highly publicized trial in which his outbursts—including laughter and taunts—shocked the courtroom. His wife, Janelle Monroy, who was accused of aiding him during the crime spree, was sentenced to nearly 50 years in prison. Prosecutors highlighted Bracamontes’s repeated illegal entries as well as his history of criminal activity to show the severity of the case.
President Donald Trump seized on Bracamontes’s crimes during his push for stricter immigration policies. Trump repeatedly cited Bracamontes as an example of the dangers of “open borders” and featured him in a controversial 2018 campaign ad ahead of the midterm elections. The ad, which portrayed Bracamontes as representative of undocumented immigrants broadly, was widely criticized as misleading and racist, but it underscored how his case became a flashpoint in the national debate over immigration enforcement and border security.
