ICE Arrests Illegal-alien Child Molestation Suspect After Virginia Sanctuary Releases Him
Yet again, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested an illegal-alien sex-crime suspect after a sanctuary jurisdiction in Virginia released him.
This time, it was Fairfax County — for at least the third time. Despite a detainer from ICE, Fairfax County authorities released the border-jumping pervert, who was charged with aggravated sexual battery of a child under 13.
When she was elected, one of far-left Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first moves was to protect illegal-alien criminals from arrest by ICE by ordering state agencies to stop cooperating with the federal bureau. And sanctuaries such as Fairfax have enacted their own pro-illegal-alien crime policies.
Honduran Sex Pervert
The latest ICE arrest — no thanks to law enforcement in Fairfax County — is typical: Local cops arrest illegal for a heinous sex crime. ICE files detainer. Democratic authorities free him to molest another kid.
ICE bagged Honduran illegal Oscar Evaristo Nunez on September 15.
He “had previously been arrested and charged on August 27, 2025 with aggravated sexual battery: parent with child 13-17 years, TWO counts of nonconsent: filming/videotaping of an undressed minor, and TWO counts of aggravated sexual battery of a victim under 13 years old,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported:
ICE lodged a detainer for Nunez with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center two days later, on August 29. However, Fairfax County refused to honor the detainer and released Nunez back into the community without notifying ICE.
Nunez jumped the border in Arizona 24 years ago.
In 2021, Fairfax enacted a leftist “trust” policy that ended cooperation with ICE. “The County will comply with all federal or state law and regulations mandating cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal immigration officials, as well as valid judicial warrants and subpoena, but will otherwise restrict sharing of personal identifiable information that could be used to further immigration enforcement efforts,” the policy says.
The problem is, refusing to provide information to ICE might well violate 8 U.S. Code 1373:
Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.
Happily for little girls across Fairfax County, the Honduran illegal is now off the street.
“This illegal alien from Honduras had been arrested for child sex crimes in August last year, but Fairfax County refused to honor ICE’s detainer and let this creep back out onto the streets,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin:
Once again, ICE did the job that these heartless sanctuary politicians won’t do: enforce the law and protect American lives. DHS is calling on Governor Abigail Spanberger and her fellow sanctuary politicians to stop putting the needs of illegal aliens over the safety of the American people.
Other Cases
Nunez’s is at least the third such case involving sanctuary Fairfax. In May, ICE collared Walvin Victor Hugo Garcia. Local cops arrested the Guatemalan illegal in June 2025, charging him with raping a child under 13 years old and using a computer to commit a sexual offense with a minor. Cops also allege he distributed drugs to a minor.
Authorities ignored a detainer and released Garcia, who, amazingly enough, showed up on May 1 for a court appearance. ICE nailed the illegal Guatemalan inside the courthouse, but not in the courtroom.
The Biden administration released Garcia into the country when he jumped the border at Eagle Pass, Texas, in October 2023. Despite a final order of deportation in February 2025, he was still here the following June.
ICE arrested Guatemalan illegal Roni Mendez-Escobar in April. Ignoring an ICE detainer, Fairfax County released him despite his arrest in October 2025 on “15 felony counts of possession of obscene material and 2 felony counts of possession of child porn with intent to distribute.” In September, a judge sentenced him to six years, five months in prison.
In April, ICE issued a detainer for Guatemalan illegal Misael Lopez Gomez, who is charged with bludgeoning his 3-month-old daughter to death. He faces trial in April.
In March, ICE issued a detainer on Guatemelan illegal Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, was was arrested and charged with second degree murder after fatally stabbing a man inside his home. He faces trial in February.
In February, ICE arrested Shayan Kahhal, an illegal Iranian whose “criminal history includes charges for strongarm rape, strongarm sodomy – woman, strongarm sodomy – boy and strongarm sodomy – girl.”
Virginia court records show three convictions: one for rape and two for forcible sodomy.
Spanberger’s Pro-illegal-alien Crime Order
Last year, Virginia’s then-GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order that required state law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
Immediately upon taking office, though, Deep Stater Spanberger rescinded it because “ensuring public safety in Virginia requires state and local law enforcement to be focused on their core responsibilities of investigating and deterring criminal activity, staffing jails, and community engagement.”
Spanberger falsely claimed that “Virginians have been deprived of critical public safety resources” because of Youngkin’s order.
Virginians must “have their state and local law enforcement resources devoted to the safety and security of their communities, not federal civil immigration enforcement,” she wrote in the executive order barring state agencies from cooperating with ICE.
Spanberger forbade cooperation with ICE by the Virginia State Police, Virginia Department of Corrections, Virginia Department of Wildlife; and Virginia Marine Resources Commission.
