Cesar Polanco came to the US illegally and began a life of ‘delinquent behavior’ before killing pregnant girlfriend.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have captured a criminal alien murderer weeks after Massachusetts authorities granted him parole for the 2006 murder of his pregnant girlfriend, state prison officials told local media.

Cesar Polanco, 59, received a life sentence for the beating murder of Judith Guevara, a 25-year-old mother of two.

Her death was ruled a homicide by “blunt force trauma and aspiration of blood.”

He served just 17 years on a life sentence before ICE picked him up at a Massachusetts prison on Friday, the day of his expected release, the Boston Herald reported.

Guevara was about a month pregnant. The couple shared a 16-month-old daughter, and Guevara had a 5-year-old son from a previous relationship.

On Oct. 26, 2006, the couple got into an argument about Polanco’s drinking, Massachusetts Parole Board records explain.

He stormed out, snorted some cocaine, returned home and killed her in front of the 5-year-old, according to the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.

Polanco called 911 after the slaying and claimed that the victim threatened him with a knife. When police arrived, he answered the door with blood on his face and hands while holding both children, according to prosecutors.

Guevara suffered “massive facial injuries” and had no pulse. She was pronounced dead after being rushed to the hospital.

Polanco had his prior parole attempt denied in 2021, but authorities in December decided he had been rehabilitated, finding that he remained sober while incarcerated, taken part in prison violence reduction programs, and that he has “a significant support system in the United States and Dominican Republic.”

They held the fact that he was the one who called police in his favor, and the board also noted that one of his daughters supported his release. It was not immediately clear whether it was the daughter he shared with Guevara. He has six children.

Details from Polanco’s denied attempt at parole in 2021 were left out of the more recent filing. The denial, issued in July 2022, revealed that after entering the U.S. illegally at the age of 20, Polanco fell into a pattern of “delinquent behavior” and racked up a series of arrests.
