WANTED CRIMINAL RELEASED BY SANCTUARY POLITICIANS: MS-13 Gang Member with Prior Arrests for Attempted Murder and Sexually Assaulting a Minor Released from Jail by Maryland[...]

The suspect was RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration, and then released AGAIN after being arrested for attempted murder

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after sanctuary politicians in Maryland refused to honor a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), releasing an illegal alien MS-13 gang member arrested for attempted murder, who went on to allegedly sexually assault a minor.

On December 16, 2025, ICE lodged a detainer against Allan Adonay Contreras-Vasquez, an illegal alien from Honduras and MS-13 member, while he was in the custody of the Prince George's County Detention Center in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. He had been arrested following an assault in Hyattsville, Maryland, allegedly carried out by Contreras-Vasquez and five other suspects, in which the victim was stalked after getting off a bus before being stabbed multiple times.

Despite the severity of this crime, Prince George's County refused to honor the detainer and released Contreras-Vasquez.

On February 18, 2026, Contreras-Vasquez was formally charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit second-degree murder, first-degree assault, conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and dangerous weapon with intent to injure.

In the period between his release and his charges being announced, a witness claimed that Contreras-Vasquez raped a 13-year-old girl in January 2026. He was arrested by Prince George's County again in May 2026, and then released AGAIN in June 2026. He currently remains at-large.

"This is just another example of how open borders and sanctuary policies have failed the American people. First the Biden Administration released this illegal alien and MS-13 gang member into the country, then sanctuary politicians in Maryland released him AGAIN after he was arrested for attempted murder," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "After his release, he allegedly went on to rape a 13-year-old girl, only for them to release him a SECOND time after that. This shows the insanity of sanctuary policies that release violent criminals into American communities to create more innocent American victims."

Contreras-Vasquez illegally entered the United States through Texas in August 2023 and was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol. He was then RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration.
