ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Child Sex Offender After Virginia County Protected Him
The detention center refused to honor a detainer request. The court suspended the 3 month sentence he received for having “consensual sexual intercourse with a child.”
ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers arrested an illegal alien convicted of sex crimes against children in Virginia earlier this month.

Guatemalan national Ander Cortez-Mendez, 21, arrived illegally in the U.S. on February 4, 2018, when the border patrol apprehended him.
The border patrol then told him to “appear before a Justice Department immigration judge.”
Looks like Cortez-Mendez never showed up! What a shock.
Well, the Fairfax County Police Department arrested Cortez-Mendez on March 16, 2024, for sex crimes:
ICE Washington, D.C. lodged an immigration detainer against Cortez-Mendez with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, March 18, 2024; however, the detention center refused to honor the ICE detainer and released Cortez-Mendez back into the community.
The Fairfax County Circuit Court found Cortez-Mendez guilty of consensual sexual intercourse with a child May 20, 2024. The court sentenced Cortez-Mendez to three months in prison but suspended the entire prison sentence.
Three months in prison and suspended sentence for child rape crimes. Unbelievable.
The detention center didn’t honor the detainer request. The court suspended his sentence.
So, Cortez-Mendez has been on the loose since May 2024.
How many more victims are out there?! People under 18 cannot consent in Virginia.
There are a few caveats, though.
Virginia has a “Romeo and Juliet Law” that allows those aged 15 to 17 to provide consent to other teens close to those below their age.
But it looks like in Virginia, an adult who has sex with a minor over 15 can be prosecuted for a misdemeanor offense.
Go read the ICE Newsroom. Way too many of these illegal aliens are either accused of sex crimes against children or have been convicted of those crimes.

I don’t think a lot of Americans realize that much of the world is fine with this sick stuff. It wasn’t long ago that “age of consent” in Japan was 13. I don’t know what it is now.
I don’t think it’s sick stuff, especially in a country with a fertility crisis. There are different cultures, and ours is not necessarily better than theirs. But one must follow the law where one is. And I’d say especially so if one broke into the country illegally, I’d enforce the laws with a bit of extra strictness.
If they’re going to be here illegally, and we won’t get them all out, they had better mind their p’s and q’s and be extra good since they imposed on us. And since we can get rid of them if we need to, send them home, unlike US citizens whose home is here.
I’m against sex before marriage, and I think child brides (or grooms, though the former is more common) are outdated, at least in first world countries.
First, more is expected of women these days than to jump straight from Daddy’s care to hubby’s care. Equal rights means equal responsibilities, so a modern, capable woman can’t expect to live like a dependant child.
Next, the average life-span is much longer than it was in pre-modern times. Back then it made sense to rush into baby-making when odds were you’d lose at least one or two, and you yourself could expect to be laid low by health conditions soon after hitting your physical peak. But with modern medicine infant mortality is less of a concern, and you can expect to keep up with your kids longer.
Lastly, we know now that the human brain doesn’t fully develop until about age 20. So it’s better that people wait until they’re over the worst of puberty and have at least a decent idea of who they are and what they want out of life before building that life with another person. Yes we have a fertility crisis but that’s an economy and community issue. Its better that people wait to have kids than have kids they aren’t ready for.
Wasn’t long ago that the legal age of marriage in Utah was 13.
Indeed. 55 years ago, a teen relative knocked up his girlfriend, “borrowed” his mom’s car without telling anyone, and drove it down to SC to get married, because the age of consent there was 15 or 16 or something like that.
Fairfax County DA is a Soros tool.
In Japan, prefectures set the age of consent. The National limit was a floor that prefectures couldn’t go below. Most were higher than 13. Mores were for higher ages even in the prefectures that had the low ages. But some people abused the system so now the National floor has been raised to 16, along with other reforms.
“consensual sexual intercourse with a child.”
um… is that a misprint, or is there actually places where a child can consent?
From the article: Virginia has a “Romeo and Juliet Law” that allows those aged 15 to 17 to provide consent to other teens close to those below their age.
Most states have that. In NY the age of consent is 17. If a 17 year old and a 16 year old get intimate, we used to call that a high school date. The purpose of such a law is to minimize the penalty.
But it’s still illegal and this man was at least 20 when he had sex with the minor.
The problem with that loophole is that it establishes that a 16, and in some cases a 14 year old can lawfully consent, and if a 14 year old can consent to sex with a 16 year old, then why not a 60 year old
The child can’t legally consent, but the charge means it was not forcible rape. That makes a difference in sentencing in many places, regardless of “Romeo & Juliet” laws.
I say you charge whomever decided to not honor the detainer with aiding and abetting.
Sadly, this form of pedophilia is too common and tolerated in Latin America. It is technically illegal but culturally normed to a degree by lack of enforcement and hush mentality.
In Mexico they celebrate a girl’s “quinceanera” (translation: 15 years) when she is considered a woman. In at least some of Central America it’s “catorseanera” (14 years). That’s the culture there. But here the ages of consent are higher, and surely this man knew it and was responsible to know it.
I’m talking about pedophilia in the preteens from family members. If you grew up in construction you know. They aren’t all bad but they don’t report the bad ones.
Seems to me the Fairfax officials are essentially guilty of aiding and abetting child rape, Arrest them, try them, convict them, and jail them. Make an example out of them and perhaps these crimes won’t be so tolerated.
so Fairfax County engaged in harboring an illegal alien, Bondi needs to woman up and start enforcing 8 USC s 1342
I suspect there’s more than a few cases similar to this where the ideological zealotry of ‘sanctuary’ policy overrode common sense and any claim of a commitment to protect the public.
Do you know, when I see a headline that say that a man had sex with a child, I’m not thinking of a 20 year old having sex with a 17 year old.
I’m not thinking of someone whose status of being able to consent is a variable even between states.
In state A this person is a minor, in state B the same person can have been over the age of consent for two years.
And state A and B can be right next to each other.
30 and 17, in a state whose age of consent is creepy enough for some action, 20 and 17? Not so much.
How old were they when they had sex? He appears to be 21 NOW, not then. Was he 20? 19? when it happened?
All we know is that the person he had sex with was over 15
And 16/18, 16/19, 17/19 17/18 and no one would think twice. 17/20 is only a bit off
But none of this is pedophilia in any way. They’re too close in age.
Need I say it? THIS is why Trump won.
This guy is 21? He looks to be 450 years old, and short his TARDIS.

Well, at least we now know where TeeJayVee lived.
Sounds like a headline right out of the National Inquirer.
The problem I see here is the are “detainer requests”, so there is not penalty for not honoring them. Change them to Detention Orders and penalize those that don’t honor them.
You don’t even have to arrest anyone. Most law enforcement and law enforcement adjacent agencies depend on Federal Funds. Remove those funds.
