DHS Asks Fairfax County Sanctuary Politicians Not to Release Illegal Alien Pedophile Charged with Assault after He Groped High School Girls

This criminal illegal alien reportedly assaulted multiple underaged girls and attended 11th grade as a 19-year-old

WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requested Fairfax County, Virginia sanctuary politicians not to release Israel Christopher Flores-Ortiz, a 19-year-old criminal illegal alien from El Salvador who was arrested for nine counts of assault and battery. According to local reports, this criminal alien groped multiple girls while attending a local high school despite the fact he is a 19-year-old adult. He is accused of repeatedly creeping up behind the students in crowded hallways and grabbing them between the legs.

Flores-Ortiz illegally entered the United States in 2024 and was RELEASED into the country under the Biden administration.

"This 19-year-old criminal illegal alien should NOT have been attending a Virgina high school and allowed to prey on innocent teenage girls. He now faces nine counts of assault and battery. This is yet another example of the Biden Administration's failed open border policies," said DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "We are calling on Fairfax County sanctuary politicians to NOT release this predator from jail back into our communities to assault more teenage women. Unfortunately, Governor Abigail Spanberger ended cooperation with ICE and is siding with criminal illegal aliens over American citizens."

Governor Spanberger's decision to end cooperation with ICE in Virginia has allowed criminals to be released back into American communities. When politicians bar local law enforcement from working with DHS, our law enforcement officers need to have a more visible presence so that we can find and apprehend the criminals let out of jails and back into communities. While Governor Spanberger continues to allow the release of pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and murderers onto Virginia's streets, DHS law enforcement will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals.

DHS law enforcement is protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family.
