ICE Files Detainer for Illegal Alien Accused of Murdering Virginia Mother
Border Patrol agents arrested the 19-year-old in April 2024 after he illegally entered America near El Paso, TX. The Biden administration later released Cedillos-Campos into the country
ICE has filed a detainer with Fairfax County, Virginia, on Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, the Salvadoran illegal alien accused of murdering Carmen Lizet Puch, a mother of a 3-year-old girl, near a nature trail on Monday.
DHS released this statement to Fox News:
This criminal illegal alien from El Salvador fatally stabbed 42-year-old Carmen Lizet Puch in a park in Virginia after he had been RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “If it weren’t for Biden’s reckless America Last policies, this woman would still be alive, and her killer wouldn’t be here. ICE is calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Fairfax County sanctuary politicians to cooperate with ICE and commit to NOT releasing this killer from jail. Virginia sanctuary politicians must stop gambling with the lives of American citizens. Enough is enough.
NEW: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that ICE has now filed a detainer with sanctuary Fairfax County, VA on the Salvadoran illegal alien charged with the brutal stabbing murder of a mother near a popular trail in Great Falls on Monday.

A jogger discovered Puch’s body early Monday morning near her Honda Civic at Difficult Run Park.
Puch had numerous stab wounds and was soaked in gasoline.
The police identified Cedillos-Campos as a suspect within 48 hours.
Cedillos-Campos and Puch worked at the same restaurant and had an intimate relationship:
Investigators allege Cedillos-Campos took a large fixed-blade knife, a pair of gloves and a water bottle from his work. Police said he later siphoned gasoline from his motorcycle, emptied the water bottle and filled it with the gas.
Cedillos-Campos and Puch went to Difficult Run Park, where investigators allege he repeatedly stabbed Puch. He then allegedly doused her with gasoline and attempted to set her on fire, but was unsuccessful.
Border Patrol agents arrested the 19-year-old in April 2024 after he illegally entered America near El Paso, TX.
The Biden administration later released Cedillos-Campos into the country:
Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos is a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador who was arrested by CBP on or about April 15, 2024, after illegally crossing the Biden administration’s open southern border near El Paso, TX. After his arrest, he was dangerously RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Biden and Mayorkas hand-delivered alleged killer Cedillos-Campos to the streets of Fairfax County. They recklessly unleashed millions of unvetted illegal aliens into American communities and abused the law to do so. President Trump and Secretary Mullin are now enforcing the law, arresting illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country—and have reversed Biden’s deadly catch and release policy. President Trump’s border security agenda is restoring order and putting the safety of the American people first. Thanks to his strong leadership and continuing the unprecedented trend of historically low border crossings and apprehensions, we now have the most secure border in history—including 15 consecutive months of zero releases at the border. Under Governor Spanberger, Virginia has become a hotbed of illegal alien crime. During her first days in office, Governor Spanberger signed executive orders banning state cooperation with ICE as well as terminating 287(g) state and local agreements. We are urging Governor Spanberger to put her community first and turn over this criminal illegal alien to ICE.

Why detain him? Let god sort him out.
Exactly. I’m sick of these detainers. Detain him long enough to put him up against a brick wall then fire away. Bullets are cheaper than the cost of keeping an inmate alive.
Hanging is even cheaper and more environmentally responsible!
It is so sad that this country continues to go down this path of insanity.
We all know the problem and yet once again many in the country refuse to fix it.
It’s Virginia, We already know what’s going to happen.
More demoncrat sedition from Spamburger.
The sheer number of high profile crimes committed by illegal aliens would seem to put pressure on sanctuary jurisdiction politicians but apparently the human cost hasn’t become high enough for them to reverse course and offer basic cooperation with ICE.
I think flying him out to the middle Atlantic and dumping him would work well. The issue is if Virginia does not put him in a Mental Ward for being insane then let him out on 2 day free pass to go off.
Sharks need to eat! Save our sharks!
Just hang him. Why go to the expense and hassle of the flight?
According to the link he is 19 and she was 42 (with a 3yo daughter). I know she didn’t deserve this but … yeesh! Why on earth would she bang an illegal young enough to be her son? Talk about suicidal empathy!
Bad boys… what you gonna do?
