A Honduran man who entered the United States illegally has been charged with the brutal stabbing murder of a Florida man. 

The arrest comes as immigration arrests have hit a 10-year low under President Joe Biden, who has faced criticism for a proposal that would pay $450,000 per person - and up to $1million per family - to those were separated at the southern border after illegally crossing.

Yery Noel Medina Ulloa, 24, was arrested October 7 when police in Jacksonville found him covered in blood after he allegedly killed Javier Cuellar. 

Cueller, 46, was a father of four who had taken the suspect into his home after Ulloa told authorities he was only 17 and living under the name 'Reynel Alexander Hernandez.'

A trail of blood led authorities back to the victim's home. Ulloa was initially put in a juvenile detention facility until his real identity and age was discovered on October 13.

Ulloa wasn't turned away when he crossed the border but instead placed in a shelter, as per Biden administration policy. 

He was given a 'Notice to Appear' and released. Eventually, Cuellar took Ulloa to his Jacksonville home.

Ulloa's mother was interviewed by Univision and said her son told her about his change in identity.

'When he entered [the US] he told me, 'Mommy, I didn't go in with my name,'' Wendy Florencia Ulloa said. 'I went in with the name of another person because right there at the shelter they helped me.' 

She said that her son told her that he was quite fond of Cuellar.  

'Mommy, he is my Uncle Frank,'' his mother said. 'I live with him. But don't worry. He treats me like a son.'' 

According to an arrest report, a witness told the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office that he received a call from the Ulloa saying he 'killed Uncle Francisco' because he 'hit him.' 

The arrest report said the murder was also caught on camera. Police said cameras facing the living room of the home show “the suspect stabbing the victim numerous times and repeatedly hitting him with a chair.” JSO also recovered a knife in a wooded area that appeared to be covered in blood. 

It has not been made clear how Ulloa got to Florida from the Texas border, though a recent report that said the Biden administration was making 'secret flights' to resettle immigrants included flight routes that went from Texas to Jacksonville.  

The victim's daughter, 18-year-old Maycarman Cuellar, didn't know much about Ulloa but said she believes he was on one of those flights.  

'My dad told me one day he was going to the airport, and then this guy came out of nowhere and was at work the next day,' she told the New York Post. 'I didn't really ask questions.' 

Cuellar put Ulloa to work at a store his family ran.    

'My dad seemed like he was doing a favor for somebody because where [Ulloa] came from they are super poor,' she said in a phone interview.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hit out at the Biden administration over the murder, saying 'if not for the Biden Administration's unlawful 'catch and release' policy, Mr. Cuellar would still be alive today'

She then alleged that someone 'asked' her father to take in Ulloa, saying that her father was 'compassionate.' 

'We feel that someone asked my dad to do it,' she said. 'My dad was really compassionate like that, he would help someone who needed it.'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hit out again at the Biden administration in the wake of Cuellar's murder.  

'This horrific crime is the latest example of how unfettered illegal migration costs Floridians' lives,' a DeSantis' spokesperson said. 'If not for the Biden Administration's unlawful 'catch and release' policy, Mr. Cuellar would still be alive today.'
