The White House avoided any mention of the alleged Texas murderer's previous deportations and illegal immigrant status, but took time to call for Congress to enact more gun control.

Oropesa, who is a Mexican national, allegedly committed the execution-style murders last Friday after a family member of the victims complained about him firing a rifle in the middle of the night. He then allegedly entered the neighbor's house with the rifle and fired at the individuals inside. Five of the ten people living in the home were killed.
A source from ICE told Fox News Digital about Oropesa's previous deportations, including that his last run-in with the agency was in 2016.
