DHS reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Oscar Evaristo Nunez, a Honduran illegal immigrant, on September 15 during a targeted enforcement operation. Initially detained on August 27 for charges including aggravated sexual battery involving children and non-consensual filming of an undressed minor, ICE had lodged a detainer with Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, which was ignored, leading to Nunez's release. DHS criticizes Virginia officials for not honoring the detainer, highlighting tensions between federal immigration enforcement and local policies that prioritize community safety over cooperation with ICE.

Story summary

On September 15, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) re-arrested Oscar Evaristo Nunez in a targeted operation after he had been released from custody by Fairfax County authorities despite an immigration detainer lodged by ICE two days earlier on his initial arrest date of August 27, 2025. Nunez was originally arrested for charges including aggravated sexual battery involving children and non-consensual filming of undressed minors. The case has sparked tensions between the Trump administration and Virginia officials regarding cooperation with federal immigration enforcement programs like the 287(g) program. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin criticized Fairfax County's decision, stating that ICE acted independently due to lack of local assistance in enforcing federal laws.
