The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to revoke the green cards of two Dominican nationals charged in a deadly Connecticut home invasion, Fox News Digital has learned.
On Thursday, DHS said suspects Ivan Antonio Barias-Florimon, 24, and Stuar Jose Lopez-Reyes, 25, are from the Dominican Republic and referred to each man as a "criminal alien."
Investigators say the Dominican duo broke into a Milford, Connecticut beach house and gunned down a couple. Fredrick Werner, 69, died of multiple gunshot wounds, and his wife is still in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound to the head.
