An illegal alien, whom the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released into the United States, has been convicted of sexually assaulting a child in Fairfax County, Virginia, a sanctuary jurisdiction.

Jose Fabricio Veizaga-Vargas, a 36-year-old illegal alien from Bolivia, first crossed the United States-Mexico border in April 2023 near El Paso, Texas. Border Patrol agents arrested Veizaga-Vargas, served him a Notice to Appear (NTA) in federal immigration court, and released him into the U.S. interior.

Veizaga-Vargas was arrested in May in Fairfax County, a sanctuary county, for sexually assaulting a child between 13 and 14 years old. Veizaga-Vargas was convicted in July and sentenced to six months in prison, though the sentence was suspended altogether.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had filed a detainer on Veizaga-Vargas, requesting custody of him, but officials at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center refused to honor the detainer and released him from custody.

The next month, on August 8, Veizaga-Vargas was arrested and charged with drunk driving in Fairfax County. ICE agents again lodged a detainer on Veizaga-Vargas, but officials refused the detainer and released him from custody.

On August 15, Veizaga-Vargas was arrested and charged with seven counts of possessing child pornography and obscene material with a minor.

ICE agents lodged another detainer on Veizaga-Vargas, but officials refused to honor the detainer, releasing him from custody on August 16.

Three days later, on August 19, ICE agents arrested Veizaga-Vargas in Annandale, Virginia. He remains in ICE custody pending deportation.
