🚨 AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN: A Honduran illegal charged with AGGRAVATE S*XUAL BATTERY OF A CHILD UNDER 13 was RELEASED after Fairfax County refused to honor an ICE detainer. More than a year later, ICE had to track him down and arrest him again. Let's not forget that even though Gov. Abigail Spanberger wasn't in office when Fairfax released him, shortly after she terminated Virginia state law enforcement's 287(g) agreements with ICE, ending agreements that allowed participating state officers to perform certain federal immigration enforcement functions under ICE supervision. Oscar Evaristo Nunez was arrested in Fairfax County on Aug. 27, 2025. DHS says he faced multiple charges involving minors, including aggravated s*xual battery charges and two counts involving the nonconsensual filming of an undressed minor. ICE lodged a detainer with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center two days later. According to DHS, the county declined to honor it and released Nunez without notifying federal immigration authorities. Fairfax County’s policy states that the Sheriff’s Office will honor judicial immigration warrants, but will not continue holding someone solely on an ICE administrative detainer. The county says an ICE detainer is a request and does not, by itself, provide legal authority to keep someone in custody after they are otherwise eligible for release. Spanberger took a similar approach at the state level after becoming governor. On Feb. 4, she ordered Virginia State Police, the Department of Corrections, Virginia Conservation Police and Virginia Marine Police to terminate all existing 287(g) agreements with ICE. Her administration said those agreements improperly placed Virginia officers under federal direction for civil immigration enforcement. That came after Spanberger rescinded a previous executive order on her first day in office that had directed state agencies, and encouraged local agencies, to participate in immigration enforcement agreements with ICE. Her administration says Virginia officers should focus on state law enforcement duties while continuing to cooperate with federal authorities when there is a valid judicial warrant. ICE finally arrested Nunez on Sept. 15 during a targeted enforcement operation. DHS says he entered the United States illegally near Arizona around September 2003 and remains in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin blasted Fairfax County over the release, saying the county “refused to honor ICE’s detainer and let this creep back out onto the streets.” He also directed his criticism at Spanberger, calling on Virginia officials to cooperate more closely with federal immigration enforcement. ICE Washington Field Office Director Robert Guadian said Nunez is accused of “disgusting and horrifying crimes” and said the release allowed an alleged child s*x predator to potentially re-offend before ICE officers took him into custody. The charges against Nunez remain allegations. But the sequence is clear: ICE lodged a detainer, Fairfax County did not hold him on that detainer, he was released, and ICE later arrested him again. The Trump administration is trying to reverse the damage done by the immigration enforcement policies left behind by the Biden administration. But while federal officials push for tougher enforcement and greater cooperation with ICE, Gov. Abigail Spanberger has moved Virginia in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION by ending state 287(g) agreements with the agency. Democrat policies are a threat to the safety of American citizens. #ICE #FairfaxCounty
