An illegal alien who was arrested for setting a woman on fire as she slept in a New York City subway car was previously deported by President Trump’s Border Patrol but snuck back into the country undetected and stayed in a Big Apple ‘migrant hotel,’ according to reports.

Following his apprehension on Sunday, authorities identified the suspect as 33-year-old Sebastian Zapeta, a Guatemalan national who entered the U.S. during the Trump administration under circumstances that were undisclosed at the time.

It has since come to light that Zapeta was caught after illegally crossing the southern border in June of 2018 and quickly deported six days later, Department of Homeland Security sources informed Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin.

Zapeta then reentered the U.S. at an unknown location, making him one of millions of ‘gotaways’ lurking across the country.
