A House Democratic candidate for a Congressional district that lies on the southern border once appeared on stage with a popular singer tagged as a &#8220;front&#8221; man for a cartel trafficker.
Bobby Pulido, a Latin Grammy winner, is running to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in Texas’ 15th Congressional District in November. The Tejano singer once performed on stage with a Mexican cartel operative.
He also <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BobbyPulidoOficial/videos/10154654143935828/?rdid=2J0puPakb1eJDzbJ#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> at his concerts on numerous <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DswT2i2kq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">occasions</a> before the Mexican singer was formally sanctioned by the United States government.
The Department of the Treasury <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-release/sm0144" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanctioned</a> Julión Álvarez in August 2017 for acting &#8220;as a front&#8221; person for a drug trafficker and his cartel, while holding &#8220;assets on their behalf.&#8221;
Pulido performed on stage with Álvarez in October 2018, sharing the video on his Facebook page, where he called the sanctioned singer &#8220;mi amigo.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FBobbyPulidoOficial%2Fvideos%2F335035310577208%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="429" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The two were seen embracing, patting each other on the back, and shaking hands as they sang together before a cheering crowd.
Álvarez previously denied the cartel ties, claiming that the only connection was through a real estate purchase, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/24/americas/mexico-julion-alvarez-visa-revoked-intl-hnk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CNN.
The Biden administration removed Álvarez from the sanctions list in 2022, CNN reported. The Trump administration later revoked Álvarez&#8217;s visa to perform in the United States in 2025, the singer said.
In a statement, Pulido&#8217;s campaign manager Abel Prado claimed that “Álvarez was cleared,&#8221; adding that &#8220;Bobby and Álvarez are not friends, and this is just another case of Republicans not understanding our culture – &#8216;amigo&#8217; is a common expression.&#8221;
&#8220;Republicans think all these attacks on Bobby are going do something… but the fact of the matter is he is a beloved figure and they’re going to find that out in November when he flips this seat,&#8221; Prado said.
The latest revelation comes after the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/04/02/us-news/texas-dem-toured-for-years-with-bandmate-who-was-a-registered-sex-offender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Pulido toured with a sex offender.
On more than a dozen occasions, Pulido performed with accordionist Frankie Caballero, who was sentenced to prison for indecent contact with an eight-year-old girl, according to the New York Post.
Pulido performed and recorded one of his hit songs with Caballero before his conviction, the outlet reported. He toured again with him decades later, after his four-year prison sentence.
“Bobby was never made aware of Caballero’s sex offender registration and would never knowingly associate with anyone with that kind of history. Bobby extends his deepest sympathies and support to all of the victims involved,” Pulido campaign manager Abel Prado told the New York Post.
Pulido himself also once played a pervert who masturbated in public and exposed himself to a woman in a 2010 music video for his song &#8220;Dias de Ayer,&#8221; according to the New York Post.
The Tejano singer played several characters in the video, including a gay admirer of the pervert. Pulido also has several previous posts on social media espousing homophobic views.
“Igualmente amigo, no homo,” he wrote in response to a fan in 2019.
“1. I don’t like those guys. 2. You can’t have children. 3. Stop being a jerk already,” Pulido said in response to a user&#8217;s post calling him a &#8220;hottie&#8221; in 2017.
&nbsp;
Editor&#8217;s Note: This piece has been updated to clarify the nature of the relationship between Álvarez and Pulido.

An illegal immigrant with a rap sheet is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl at a Kentucky church while serving as her pastor, The Daily Wire has learned.
Mexican illegal immigrant Jose Lopez-Hernandez, 52, snuck across the border at an unknown time before he landed in Covington, Kentucky, where he became a pastor, using &#8220;his position&#8221; &#8220;to lure&#8221; the young girl, the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.
Lopez-Hernandez was ordered last month to spend two years in prison for his crimes, but his attorney said his 862 days of time served credit covers his sentence, <a href="https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/crime/2026/03/09/covington-church-pastor-sentenced-for-sexually-abusing-teen-girl/89063982007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Authorities first learned of Lopez-Hernandez in September 2023 after receiving a report of sexual abuse at the Ministerio Jesus Liberta Church on East Ninth Street, the local news outlet reported. Lopez-Hernandez asked the then-14-year-old and her cousin to come to his office when they were attending her church with family on a Sunday.
The Mexican national eventually told the girl&#8217;s cousin to leave the office and asked the 14-year-old to stay with him, according to the report. The pastor then locked the door and began kissing and touching the girl.
She eventually pushed his hands away, leaving the office to tell her dad. The girl had a bruise on her neck that was consistent with &#8220;aggressive kissing,&#8221; witnesses told police.
The illegal immigrant then fled to the sanctuary state of California for a mission trip, skipping his return flight, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Covington Police learned that he didn&#8217;t plan to return and notified the FBI, the outlet reported.
In October 2023, federal agents arrested Lopez-Hernandez in Salinas, California, according to the report. More than two years later, he pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse.
Lopez-Hernandez must now complete court-ordered treatment, register as a sex offender for 20 years, and stay away from the now-16-year-old victim, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has since lodged a detainer with local authorities, asking them &#8220;not release this sexual predator from jail to prey on more innocent children.&#8221;
Before his latest arrest, Lopez-Hernandez was previously released by police in Kentucky after two arrests for theft, forgery, and reckless and careless driving, according to DHS.
&#8220;ICE law enforcement lodged a detainer asking Kentucky to not release this sexual predator from jail to prey on more innocent children. This criminal was previously released despite multiple criminal arrests,” Acting Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement.
“These are the types of heinous criminals ICE is targeting every single day. Instead of demonizing our ICE officers and protecting criminals, Governor Beshear needs to work with our law enforcement to get these criminal illegal aliens out of our country,&#8221; she added.

The Trump administration is considering a new plan to pressure sanctuary cities to change their ways.
In his first interview since his confirmation, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Monday that he&#8217;s weighing pulling Customs officers from major airports in sanctuary cities to force them to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. The move would effectively prevent international travel through those airports.
&#8220;I believe sanctuary cities is not lawful,&#8221; Mullin told Fox News&#8217; Bret Baier. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re able to do that, and so we&#8217;re gonna take a hard look at this.&#8221;
He pointed specifically to international airports as a potential pressure point.
&#8220;If they&#8217;re sanctuary cities, should they really be processing Customs into their city?&#8221; Mullin asked. &#8220;If they&#8217;re a sanctuary city and they&#8217;re receiving international flights, and we&#8217;re asking them to partner with us at the airport, but once they walk out of the airport they&#8217;re not gonna enforce immigration policy, maybe we need to have a really hard look at that because we need to focus on cities that want to work with us.&#8221;
President Donald Trump&#8217;s immigration enforcement effort has targeted some sanctuary cities by flooding them with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and Border Patrol agents. One such operation took place in Chicago last year, where local authorities were restricted from working with ICE.
Mullin suggested the potential policy change comes alongside broader resource constraints and political battles in Washington, including a partial government shutdown over Democrats&#8217; demands to dramatically reform ICE.
&#8220;We&#8217;re gonna have to start prioritizing things at some point,&#8221; Mullin said.
&#8220;Right now, a number of the Democrats are wanting to defund Customs and Border Patrol. Well, who processes those individuals when they walk off a plane? And so I&#8217;m gonna have to be forced to make hard decisions,&#8221; he added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Mullin: I believe sanctuary cities is not lawful. Some of these cities have international airports. If they are a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city? We need to have a really hard look at that.
Baier: So you are saying that big cities that… <a href="https://t.co/UAJxWFZtZI">pic.twitter.com/UAJxWFZtZI</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
During his confirmation hearing last month, Mullin offered a willingness to implement &#8220;a better approach&#8221; for ICE, saying he “would love to see&#8221; the agency &#8220;become a transport more than the frontline.”
“If we can get back into just simply working with law enforcement, we’re going to them and we’re picking up these criminals from their jail. One, we’re gonna reimburse them for having the person there, and that partnership is vitally important,” he said.

More than six years after overstaying his tourist visa, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela allegedly tried to murder a man on a Long Island beach last month, The Daily Wire has learned.
Ruben Guanipa Ramirez, 26, allegedly drove an acquaintance to Gilgo Beach, a remote location where he attacked him from behind, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney&#8217;s office. The Venezuelan national allegedly shoved a black cloth into his victim&#8217;s mouth while stabbing him in the left side and attempting to slit his throat.
Ramirez picked up the man from his Queens home before the two ended up playing pool at Sport Billiard Pool Hall, the DA&#8217;s office said. The Venezuelan national then allegedly drove his victim to Jones Beach and then Gilgo Beach, where the attack occurred.
Ramirez attacked when the two were walking back to the car, according to prosecutors. The victim was able to wrestle the knife out of Ramirez&#8217;s hands, resulting in defensive wounds.
The victim was able to drive off in Ramirez&#8217;s car, leaving his alleged attacker on the side of the road, and call 911. He then went to his friend&#8217;s house in Queens, where he was met by police and an ambulance, which transported him to a nearby hospital.
Police arrested Ramirez later that same day after spotting him walking along the Long Island Expressway in Nassau County, prosecutors said.
Authorities later discovered three kitchen knives, one of which was covered in blood, along with rope, duct tape, blankets, plastic drop cloths, a large-wheeled bag, gloves, and a boxcutter inside Ramirez&#8217;s car.
Ramirez came to the United States in June 2019 on a B-2 tourist visa, which required him to leave the country by December of that year, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire — but he never left.
Now, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is pressuring authorities in New York not to release the illegal immigrant. The district attorney in Suffolk County, Raymond Tierney, has condemned the state&#8217;s sanctuary laws and recently used a loophole to have ICE pick up a child rape suspect from Guatemala, according to Fox News.
“Ruben Guanipa Ramirez is a dangerous criminal illegal alien who violently stabbed his victim and attempted to slit his throat,” Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement on Monday. “ICE lodged an arrest detainer requesting Long Island not release this attempted murder from jail without notifying ICE.&#8221;
&#8220;We need more state and local law enforcement to work with ICE to get criminals out of our neighborhoods. This attempted murderer will never be loose on American streets again. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS has unleashed ICE to target dangerous criminal illegal aliens, like Ruben Guanipa Ramirez, to put the safety of Americans first,&#8221; Bis added.

He Overstayed His Visa For Years. Now He Stands Accused Of A Brutal Attack.

Murder

New York

Virginia has become a hotbed for illegal immigrant crime following a string of recent murders.
In just over a month, three illegal immigrants have been accused of carrying out brutal killings — including one where the victim was a 3-month-old infant — in Fairfax County, which has notoriously flouted Immigration and Customs Enforcement&#8217;s (ICE) detainers.
President Donald Trump&#8217;s border czar Tom Homan is now calling on sanctuary leaders in the state to get on board to work with ICE. In an appearance on Fox News Thursday, the former ICE director encouraged authorities in the commonwealth to make deals with the feds that mimic Homan&#8217;s agreements in Minneapolis.
&#8220;Elections have consequences,&#8221; Homan said of the recent killings. &#8220;I lived in Virginia. [Virginia Governor Abigail] Spanberger took over and she moved so far left, she&#8217;s not even recognizable anymore. Look, in that city, Fairfax, they&#8217;ve been a sanctuary city. I&#8217;ve been complaining about them for years.&#8221;
&#8220;Sanctuaries are sanctuaries for criminals and for any politician, or chief of police, or the sheriff, they want to say they&#8217;re not gonna enforce federal immigration law, not their job, they can&#8217;t honor ICE detainers, they don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re legal, we can do the same thing we did in Minneapolis. We can do the same thing, talk to the sheriffs, talk to the chiefs. If you don&#8217;t want to honor detainers, I get it we can litigate that in courts,&#8221; he said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Sanctuary politicians, like <a href="https://twitter.com/GovernorVA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GovernorVA</a>, REFUSE to put the safety of American citizens first.
It is common sense. Sanctuary politicians must cooperate with <a href="https://twitter.com/ICEgov?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ICEgov</a> and stop releasing criminals from their jails to create more innocent American victims. <a href="https://t.co/kCo7PttMid">pic.twitter.com/kCo7PttMid</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Trump sent Homan to Minneapolis following the deaths of anti-ICE activists Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Homan took on the role of lowering the temperature with the goal of drawing down the number of federal immigration agents deployed to the Twin Cities.
By the end of his deployment, Homan had brokered what he described as &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; levels of cooperation with authorities in Minnesota, who he said had agreed to hand over illegal immigrants as soon as they were to be released. Homan said at the time that ICE officers would be strategically stationed nearby, so local authorities didn&#8217;t have to hold the inmates longer than local charges would allow.
Homan is now offering to do the same in Virginia.
&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing illegal about you calling ICE before you release them, and we&#8217;ll be there to take custody. You don&#8217;t have to hold them one minute past what you would normally hold them on your charges. Just give us a call, it&#8217;s free, and we&#8217;ll be there. We&#8217;ll even strategically locate deportation officers near those jails,&#8221; he told Fox News host Will Cain.
&#8220;That&#8217;s the success we had in Minneapolis, we got record cooperation there. We can do the same thing in Virginia. But I truly believe they hate Trump more than they care about their public safety because the common sense approach is call us and we&#8217;ll be there and take that public safety threat off the street,&#8221; he added.
Guatemalan illegal immigrant Misael Lopez Gomez, 28, was arrested Friday after he allegedly killed his 3-month-old daughter in Fairfax County, <a href="https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/virginia-dad-charged-medical-examiner-blunt-force-trauma-babys-death/65-97c06d65-4c72-4a5e-b838-f58d095fe4ab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to WUSA9.
Another Guatemalan illegal immigrant, Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, 38, was arrested Sunday after he allegedly repeatedly stabbed a man to death in Fairfax County, <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/baileys-crossroads-deadly-stabbing-murder-anibal-armando-chavarria-muy-charged-fairfax-county-virginia-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to ABC7.
An illegal immigrant with 30 prior arrests was arrested in February after he allegedly fatally stabbed 41-year-old mother Stephanie Minter. The Sierra Leone national, Abdul Jalloh, 32, allegedly left Minter&#8217;s lifeless body at a Fairfax County bus stop when he fled the scene.
ICE has arrested thousands of illegal immigrants in Virginia who pose threats to &#8220;public safety,&#8221; but has had to operate without the help of local authorities, according to Homan.
&#8220;We had to go out and look for them, which is dangerous for the community, dangerous for the officer, dangerous for the alien &#8230; we&#8217;re gonna keep doing it,&#8221; Homan said.
&#8220;Give us custody in your jail before you release them, and you&#8217;re gonna see the crime rate drop significantly,&#8221; he said.

Homan Calls For A Deal After Sanctuary City Faces String Of Brutal Murders

Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker is getting hammered after posting a video promoting walking in Chicago, days after an 18-year-old woman was allegedly fatally shot by an illegal immigrant while out for a walk.
Sheridan Gorman, a Loyola University freshman, was killed March 19 while walking with friends, according to reports. Authorities say a 25-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rare-reason-keeps-illegal-alien-suspect-in-loyola-student-slaying-from-facing-court?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Rare+Reason+Keeps+Illegal+Alien+Suspect+In+Loyola+Student+Slaying+From+Facing+Court">Venezuelan national</a> who was in the United States unlawfully approached her and shot her as she tried to run away.
The suspect, Jose Medina-Medina, crossed the southern border illegally in May 2023 and was later released into the United States. He then turned up in Chicago, where he was accused of shoplifting from a Macy’s weeks later, <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/21/loyola-chicago-shooting-suspect/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Chicago Tribune. He never showed up for his court date, resulting in a warrant for his arrest, the outlet reported.
Days after Gorman&#8217;s killing, Pritzker posted a video promoting &#8220;National Walking Day,&#8221; describing the sanctuary state of Illinois as &#8220;the best place to walk.&#8221;
And the governor walked into an onslaught of criticism.

&#8220;CRAZY how most people who go out walking in a sanctuary city end up running,&#8221; Fox News Radio host Jimmy Failla wrote in the comments section.
Gorman&#8217;s family has criticized Pritzker&#8217;s response to the tragic slaying. Four days after the killing, Pritzker&#8217;s office released a statement on the &#8220;senseless murder.&#8221;
“Our thoughts are with the family, friends, and Loyola University community grieving the senseless murder of Sheridan Gorman,&#8221; Pritzker&#8217;s office told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Violent crime has no place in our streets, and we expect the alleged perpetrator to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.&#8221;
Pritzker&#8217;s office placed blame on &#8220;the Trump administration,&#8221; saying it needs &#8220;to stop politicizing heinous tragedies and instead focus on real solutions, like reinstating federal funds to prevent violence that support our public safety efforts.&#8221;
In a social media <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GovPritzker/posts/sheridan-gormans-murder-is-a-tragedy-and-the-person-responsible-must-be-held-acc/1488447859304935/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>, Pritzker called Gorman&#8217;s killing &#8220;a tragedy,&#8221; adding that &#8220;the person responsible must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.&#8221;
Gorman&#8217;s family <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gorman-family-calls-out-johnson-pritzker-following-college-students-killing-chicago">pushed back</a> on the governor&#8217;s response, saying her “death cannot be reduced to a general ‘tragedy,’ nor can it be explained away by broad references to failures somewhere else.&#8221;
“We are not interested in political arguments or in watching responsibility shift from one place to another,&#8221; the family continued. &#8220;If there were failures — as the Governor himself has acknowledged—then every one of them must be identified, examined, and addressed directly. The location of those failures matters less than the willingness to confront them honestly.”
“Our daughter is not a policy debate. She is a life that was taken, and that demands accountability,” they added.

Watch Dem Governor Walk In ‘Tone-Deaf’ Message After College Student Murder

Illinois

J.B. Pritzker

Another illegal immigrant has allegedly committed a murder in Virginia.
This time, the accused is suspected of killing his 3-month-old daughter.
Police arrested Guatemalan illegal immigrant Misael Lopez Gomez, 28, after finding the unresponsive infant at a home in Fairfax County Friday, <a href="https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/virginia-dad-charged-medical-examiner-blunt-force-trauma-babys-death/65-97c06d65-4c72-4a5e-b838-f58d095fe4ab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to WUSA9. First responders attempted to save the child by administering CPR.
The child later died at the hospital, and her death was determined to be caused by blunt-force trauma, the local news outlet reported.
Lopez Gomez admitted that he illegally crossed the southern border in July 2023 near Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
He now faces murder and felony child abuse charges.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has since lodged a detainer requesting that local authorities hand over the illegal immigrant for deportation. DHS is also calling &#8220;on Governor Spanberger to commit to not releasing this barbaric animal from jail into Virginia communities,&#8221; Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement Wednesday.
“This monster should have never been allowed in our country by the Biden administration. We need cooperation from sanctuary politicians to stop criminals from being released from jail to perpetrate more crimes and create more innocent victims,&#8221; Bis said.
Upon entering office, Spanberger ended a cooperation agreement between state and local law enforcement and ICE.
A day after one of the recent killings, the Democratic official characterized ICE as “unaccountable agents” who “terrorize our communities” in her party&#8217;s response to the State of the Union.
On Sunday, authorities arrested Guatemalan illegal immigrant Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, 38, after he allegedly repeatedly stabbed a man to death in Fairfax County, <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/baileys-crossroads-deadly-stabbing-murder-anibal-armando-chavarria-muy-charged-fairfax-county-virginia-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to ABC7.
Just weeks before, 41-year-old mother Stephanie Minter&#8217;s lifeless body was found at a Fairfax County bus stop after she was fatally stabbed by an illegal immigrant with a lengthy rap sheet.
Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh, 32, who had 30 prior arrests for rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, larceny, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and pickpocketing, according to DHS.
After ICE lodged a detainer for Jalloh&#8217;s arrest, Spanberger said the request wouldn&#8217;t be enough for local law enforcement to hand him over. The governor said they would only comply with a warrant signed by a judge, which isn&#8217;t a standard practice in such instances.
Fairfax County has notoriously operated as a sanctuary for illegal immigrant criminals and the local sheriff&#8217;s office has notoriously ignored ICE detainers.

Another Illegal Immigrant Accused Of Murder In Virginia. The Victim Is His Three-Month-Old Baby.

An illegal immigrant from Honduras is accused of kidnapping and sodomizing a girl who was under the age of 12 in Lexington, Kentucky, on Saturday after he was deported four different times from the country, The Daily Wire has learned.
Jorge Luis Martinez-Ulloa allegedly grabbed the young girl by her arm and neck, trapping her in his apartment, and raping her, the Lexington Herald Leader <a href="https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/crime/article315239398.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, citing court documents.
The young child didn&#8217;t know Martinez-Ulloa, the local news outlet reported. She was later hospitalized for her injuries, and police took the illegal immigrant and accused rapist into custody.
<div id="attachment_1070515" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1070515" class="wp-image-1070515 size-medium" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/04/Untitled-design-2026-04-01T123737.239-300x272.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="272" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/04/Untitled-design-2026-04-01T123737.239-300x272.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/04/Untitled-design-2026-04-01T123737.239.jpg 370w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Courtesy of DHS</div>
The Honduran national first crossed the border illegally in Laredo, Texas, in 2012 and was removed from the country through a process known as voluntary departure, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told The Daily Wire.
Martinez-Ulloa then entered the United States illegally again on February 26, 2021; February 28, 2021; and March 7, 2021, and was deported each time, DHS said. He then snuck into the country a fifth time on an unknown date before he went on to victimize the young child Saturday.
Martinez-Ulloa is charged with kidnapping of a minor, first-degree strangulation, two counts of first-degree rape involving a victim under 12, two counts of first-degree sodomy involving a victim under 12, and two counts of sexual abuse of a victim under 12.
ICE has since lodged a detainer with local authorities, asking them to hand over the illegal immigrant for eventual deportation, the agency said.
“This criminal illegal alien kidnapped and raped a child. ICE requesting Lexington not release this child predator without notification to ICE law enforcement,&#8221; Acting Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement shared with The Daily Wire.
Over two dozen law enforcement agencies in Kentucky have agreements to work with ICE through its 287(g) program, <a href="https://archive.is/e9HZi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Louisville Courier-Journal. While authorities in Lexington haven&#8217;t entered into such formal agreements, it is not considered a sanctuary jurisdiction that is prevented from working with federal immigration officers.
&#8220;Thankfully, Lexington cooperates with ICE, so this pedophile will not be released from jail back into American neighborhoods,” Bis said. “We need more cities and states to cooperate with us to help remove sickos like this from our country. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE will continue arresting and removing child rapists from our country.”
Martinez-Ulloa was arraigned Monday afternoon, when a judge kept his bond at $100,000, according to the Lexington Herald Leader. His next hearing is scheduled for April 7.

Another illegal immigrant has been accused of murder in Virginia.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, 38, who allegedly repeatedly stabbed a man to death in Fairfax County Sunday, as a &#8220;criminal illegal alien from Guatemala,&#8221; <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/baileys-crossroads-deadly-stabbing-murder-anibal-armando-chavarria-muy-charged-fairfax-county-virginia-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to ABC7.
Authorities found the victim inside a home with multiple stab wounds in his upper body Sunday, ABC7 reported. He later died at the hospital.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Fairfax County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, which has notoriously flouted the federal immigration agency&#8217;s demands to hand over illegal immigrant criminals.
Meanwhile, DHS has placed the blame on Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger for the tragic killing, calling her out for another recent murder by an illegal immigrant.
Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh, 32, who had 30 prior arrests, allegedly murdered 41-year-old mother Stephanie Minter at a Fairfax County bus stop last month. Jalloh&#8217;s rap sheet included arrests for rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, larceny, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and pickpocketing, according to DHS.
Spanberger earlier said ICE&#8217;s detainer for Jalloh&#8217;s arrest wouldn’t be enough for local law enforcement to hand him over to immigration authorities for deportation.
&#8220;ICE is calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia&#8217;s sanctuary politicians to not release this murderer back into our communities,” DHS Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Lauren Bis told ABC7. “This incident comes just one month after an innocent woman was murdered by another criminal illegal alien at a bus stop in Spanberger’s state. Open-border policies yet again have caused another preventable tragedy.”
When Spanberger entered office, she ended a cooperation agreement between state and local law enforcement and ICE. The day after Minter&#8217;s murder, the governor characterized ICE as “unaccountable agents” who “terrorize our communities&#8221; in the Democratic response to the State of the Union.
In almost every one of Jalloh&#8217;s previous cases, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office dropped the charges, ABC7 previously <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/illegal-immigrant-with-long-criminal-record-accused-of-killing-woman-in-fairfax-county-abdul-emails-jalloh-stephanie-minter-commonwealths-attorney-steve-descano" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Authorities also previously warned about the dangers he posed to the community.
An officer with the Fairfax County Police Department notified Descano’s office in November, cautioning that he could continue to commit crimes if he&#8217;s released, according to emails obtained by 7News reporter Nick Minock.
Muy was charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond, <a href="https://fcpdnews.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/officers-quickly-arrest-suspect-after-fatal-stabbing-in-baileys-crossroads/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Fairfax County Police Department.
DHS said he snuck into the country as a &#8220;gotaway,&#8221; which means he made it past border authorities without detection, according to ABC7.
Muy also had an assault and battery charge from November 2024, when he was accused of punching a woman and attempting to strangle her, the outlet reported. A judge later dismissed the charge.
The Arlington Commonwealth’s Attorney said the charge &#8220;was dismissed at the request of the victim pursuant to 19.2-151, an accord and satisfaction,” in a statement to ABC7.
“Under that statute, the courts have discretion to dismiss a misdemeanor assault case (which this was charged as) when a defendant pays restitution to a victim. Here, the victim had expressed that the most important issue to them was restitution, which was paid. We try to honor the wishes of a victim, even though I do not favor resolution of cases by accord and satisfaction where violence is involved,&#8221; the attorney said.

Illegal Immigrant Accused Of Another Brutal Virginia Murder

Department of Homeland Security

Fairfax County

An aide for New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, a New York City council member, and a retired NYPD sergeant are all tied to a federal bribery investigation involving migrant shelter contracts, according to the Associated Press.
Edouardo St. Fort, a former NYPD sergeant, was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/farah-debbie-louis-edouardo-st-fort-bribery-c8037a7eb9f332b8a35e9cd05a59d119">arrested</a> in Massachusetts Tuesday. Prosecutors allege he was involved in a scheme connected to contracts awarded to provide services at the shelters.
Three others were arrested as part of the probe, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/farah-debbie-louis-edouardo-st-fort-bribery-c8037a7eb9f332b8a35e9cd05a59d119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the AP.
A March 19 search warrant also names Council Member Farah Louis, a Democrat representing part of Brooklyn; her sister, Debbie Louis, who serves as Hochul’s assistant secretary of New York City intergovernmental affairs; and Edu Hermelyn, the husband of state Assemblyman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, who is also chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party.
The sisters were not among the arrested, the AP reported.
Authorities are seeking information on whether the accused received improper payments tied to contracts issued to BHRAGS Home Care Inc., the AP <a href="https://apnews.com/article/farah-louis-debbie-louis-edu-hermelyn-brooklyn-democratic-73fdb7398a718efbadd5e0a9c0b4f519" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Monday. The nonprofit group expanded its services to include emergency migrant shelters in 2022 and subsequently received more than a dozen contracts. St. Fort&#8217;s company, Fort NYC Security, provided security at the shelters as a subcontractor for BHRAGS and another nonprofit serving the city&#8217;s homeless population, Bronx Family Network Inc.
Five of the six contracts handed to St. Fort&#8217;s company were issued on an emergency basis, allowing the city to bypass competitive bidding requirements, the AP reported.
Debbie Louis was placed on leave last week after Hochul got wind of the probe, a spokesperson for the governor said. Sources <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/30/us-news/federal-prosecutors-investigating-nyc-council-member-hochul-aide-for-taking-bribes-to-help-migrant-shelter-provider/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the New York Post that the probe does not involve Louis&#8217; role in the governor&#8217;s office or state funds.
St. Fort has been indicted on charges including conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, bribery involving programs receiving federal funds, and violating a law prohibiting interstate travel for unlawful activities, according to the AP.
New York City was hit with an influx of more than 200,000 migrants during the Biden administration as millions were ushered across the southern border and released en masse. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott bused some of the migrants to New York in an effort to put pressure on sanctuary cities and draw attention to their policies. As a result, the city was forced to scramble to find housing for the newly arrived migrants, flipping hotels into shelters and erecting a tent facility on Randall’s Island to accommodate the influx.

President Donald Trump has spoken with the family of Sheridan Gorman, the college freshman who was allegedly fatally shot by an illegal immigrant roaming Chicago earlier this month, a White House official told The Daily Wire Monday.
Gorman was allegedly shot and killed as she tried to run from crazed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rare-reason-keeps-illegal-alien-suspect-in-loyola-student-slaying-from-facing-court?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Rare+Reason+Keeps+Illegal+Alien+Suspect+In+Loyola+Student+Slaying+From+Facing+Court">Venezuelan illegal immigrant</a> Jose Medina-Medina. The Loyola University student was walking with friends to see the Northern Lights around 1 a.m. on March 19 when she was fatally shot, her family said.
Medina, 25, was released after crossing the southern border illegally in May 2023 before he turned up in Chicago, where he&#8217;s accused of shoplifting from a Macy&#8217;s that June, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The Venezuelan national never appeared for a hearing in the earlier case, leading a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Days after the killing, Trump slammed the Biden administration’s “open door” policies for Medina&#8217;s release.
“It’s devastating. These people were let in by Biden. We’re getting them out. We’re getting them out fast. That’s why ICE is so important. They are doing such a good job,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-doesnt-hold-back-when-daily-wire-asks-about-loyola-murder-suspect-and-biden-era-link">told</a> Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan. “This animal, I saw the whole thing last night. They gave me a briefing.”

Here is Sheridan Gorman’s mom, Jessica, speaking about her daughter at a community vigil last night.

Gorman&#8217;s grieving mother, Jessica, delivered an emotional speech during a Saturday vigil for her late daughter.
&#8220;I want to say this gently, but honestly, as a mom, I&#8217;m angry,&#8221; Jessica Gorman said as she fought back tears. &#8220;I&#8217;m like completely heartbroken, and we are going to fight for justice for our sweet Sheridan, and we&#8217;re going to fight for change.&#8221;
&#8220;But we know, not everyone will see it the same way we do and not everyone will approach it the way we will, and that&#8217;s okay,&#8221; Jessica said, adding, &#8220;At the heart of all of this, we all want the same thing — for your children and for ours to be safe, to be protected, and to come home. Because, at the end of the day, that&#8217;s what this is all about. All of our kids, every single one of them, protecting them, loving them, showing up for them. And that is how we honor her.&#8221;
The family has criticized the responses of Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, along with Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, to Gorman&#8217;s tragic slaying.
Initially, Johnson <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/24/us-news/chicago-mayor-asked-about-citys-immigration-policies-after-illegal-immigrant-allegedly-killed-college-student/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he planned to eventually speak with the family.
It is not clear whether or not that&#8217;s happened, as his office didn&#8217;t respond to a request for comment.
Pritzker&#8217;s office also didn&#8217;t immediately respond when asked if the Democratic official had spoken with Gorman&#8217;s family.
Medina appeared in court Friday. His initial hearing was delayed due to his hospitalization for tuberculosis.
The illegal immigrant&#8217;s defense has pointed to a 2018 incident where Medina was shot in the head while being robbed in Colombia, <a href="https://wgntv.com/news/wgn-investigates/what-we-know-about-loyola-murder-suspect-jose-medina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to WGN. The public defender presented a photo appearing to show Medina with a dent in his forehead, arguing that he is developmentally delayed and can&#8217;t read or write.
At one point, Medina asked to go back to Colombia, but was sent on a bus to Chicago, his attorney said. It was at a Windy City migrant shelter where he contracted tuberculosis.
Medina&#8217;s mother came to Chicago “to care for him” and lived with him in a shelter near Loyola&#8217;s campus, according to WGN.

The family of Sheridan Gorman, the college student who was fatally shot by an illegal immigrant in Chicago, are slamming the sanctuary-policy-supporting leaders in Illinois for their response to her killing.
Jose Medina-Medina, 25, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rare-reason-keeps-illegal-alien-suspect-in-loyola-student-slaying-from-facing-court?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Rare+Reason+Keeps+Illegal+Alien+Suspect+In+Loyola+Student+Slaying+From+Facing+Court">an illegal immigrant from Venezuela</a>, allegedly approached the college freshman wearing a black mask around 1 a.m. on March 19, and shot her as she tried to run. The 18-year-old Loyola University freshman was walking with friends to see the Northern Lights when she was fatally shot, her family said.
After former President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration released Medina at the border in May 2023, he wound up in Chicago, where he allegedly shoplifted from a local Macy&#8217;s that June, according to the Chicago Tribune. Medina failed to show up for his hearing in the case before a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responded nearly a week after the killing, calling it an act of &#8220;senseless violence&#8221; and a &#8220;tragedy.&#8221;
&#8220;As I prepare to send my oldest son off to college this fall, I can&#8217;t stop thinking about the Gorman family as they bear the unimaginable loss of their daughter Sheridan. What I want for my child is what I want for every single child and every single person in this city. That is to be safe and to live out their purpose without fear. Disturbing acts of violence like this set us back as a city,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;We will not tolerate those who break the law and put the lives of others in danger.&#8221;
&#8220;I believe that we&#8217;re all grieving the loss of Sheridan and other folks who have lost their lives because of senseless violence.&#8221;
Gorman&#8217;s family hit back at Johnson, calling for accountability in the case.
&#8220;What happened to Sheridan cannot be reduced to a ‘senseless tragedy,’ nor can it be explained in general terms about public safety. Sheridan was our daughter. She was 18 years old. She was doing something entirely normal — walking near her campus with friends. She should be here,&#8221; the Gorman family said, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gorman-family-calls-out-johnson-pritzker-following-college-students-killing-chicago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
&#8220;Calling this ‘senseless’ is not enough. There must be a clear and honest accounting of what went wrong,&#8221; the family said. &#8220;We will not allow Sheridan’s life to be reduced to a talking point or a generalization. We expect leadership that is willing to confront hard truths and ensure that what happened to her does not happen again.&#8221;
Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker&#8217;s office released its first statement on Gorman’s killing Tuesday afternoon.
“Our thoughts are with the family, friends, and Loyola University community grieving the senseless murder of Sheridan Gorman. Violent crime has no place in our streets, and we expect the alleged perpetrator to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” a spokesperson for Pritzker told The Daily Wire.
“The Trump Administration needs to stop politicizing heinous tragedies and instead focus on real solutions, like reinstating federal funds to prevent violence that support our public safety efforts,” the spokesperson added.
Gorman&#8217;s family also hit back at Pritzker over his statement.
&#8220;Sheridan’s death cannot be reduced to a general &#8216;tragedy,&#8217; nor can it be explained away by broad references to failures somewhere else. Sheridan was a daughter, a sister, and a young woman whose life was taken in a way that should never have been possible,&#8221; the family said, according to Fox News. &#8220;We are not interested in political arguments or in watching responsibility shift from one place to another. If there were failures — as the Governor himself has acknowledged—then every one of them must be identified, examined, and addressed directly. The location of those failures matters less than the willingness to confront them honestly.&#8221;
&#8220;Our daughter is not a policy debate. She is a life that was taken, and that demands accountability,&#8221; they added.
Medina was charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder in the first degree, three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, and one count of aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon, according to the Tribune. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with local authorities, but it is not likely to force any action due to sanctuary laws.
His initial court appearance was delayed after he was hospitalized with tuberculosis. He is due in court Friday.
