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.
