Soili Xiomara Aparicio Santos, 41, served more than eight years of a 10-year prison term for second-degree attempted murder, according to state prison records. When she was set for release on Tuesday, April 7, local cops alerted ICE, as the federal agency had requested.
Aparicio Santos was living in Centereach in September 2017 when she delivered a baby boy, then attempted to kill him the same day by smothering him with a pillow, authorities said. A family member noticed her actions and called the cops, and the boy avoided serious injuries. He was placed in foster care.
After her conviction for second-degree attempted murder and first-degree attempted assault, Aparicio Santos was sentenced to 16 years behind bars, later reduced to 10 on appeal. ICE lodged an immigration detainer with Suffolk County in the case.
Aparicio Santos initially entered the U.S. in 2014, and she had a removal order dating to April 17, 2014, according to the Department of Homeland Security. She was deported on Wednesday, April 15.
