U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) placed detainers on two illegal aliens from Venezuela, including one of them with probable ties to the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, after they kidnapped a Washington state woman and used a power drill on her hand before shooting her in January, according to law enforcement officials.

Kevin Daniel Sanabria Ojeda, 24, and 25-year-old Alexander Moises Arnaez-Gutierrez were both charged last week with kidnapping, robbery and attempted murder in King County, Washington.

A senior ICE official confirmed to Fox News that both suspects are Venezuelan illegal immigrants, and ICE is placing detainers on both of them with local authorities.

Charging documents obtained by Fox News Digital allege that Sanabria Ojeda and Arnaez-Gutierrez kidnapped the female victim as she returned to her apartment in Burien around 10 p.m. on Jan. 21.

After enlisting the help of the FBI, Sanabria Ojeda’s vehicle was located by police at a motel in Illinois.

Detectives reviewed surveillance video of the suspects before conducting surveillance of their own and matching Sanabria Ojeda as a suspect a week after the kidnapping.

After identifying Sanabria Ojeda, he was arrested before investigators searched his hotel, where they reportedly located jewelry owned by the woman who was kidnapped.

“Post Miranda (rights), Sanabria stated that he participated in the kidnapping, vehicle theft, robbery and killing of the ‘lady’ known to investigators as (victim),” the arrest report said.

Last week, the Mercer Island Police reportedly arrested Arnaez-Guitierrez during a traffic stop.

The King County Sheriff’s Office says one suspect has probable ties to Tren de Aragua.

The investigation into the matter is ongoing.
