ICE Asks Governor Spanberger and Fairfax Sanctuary Politicians to Not Release Criminal Illegal Alien Who Stabbed Man to Death in Fairfax This incident comes just one month after Stephanie Minter was stabbed to death by another criminal illegal alien at a bus stop in Fredericksburg WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer requesting Fairfax County sanctuary politicians not to release Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy—a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala—who Fairfax County Police Department arrested on second degree murder charges in Fairfax County, Virginia. On March 30, 2026, detectives arrested Chavarria Muy in connection to a fatal stabbing of a man the day prior. According to local reports, officers found a man with multiple stab wounds inside a home in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia. The male victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy Chavarria Muy is illegally in the U.S. and entered at an unknown place and time. “Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, was charged with second degree murder after repeatedly stabbing a man to death in Fairfax County. ICE is calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia's sanctuary politicians to not release this murderer back into our communities,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “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.” This incident comes one month after another tragedy where ICE lodged a detainer requesting that Virginia not release a career criminal illegal alien with more than 30 arrests who was charged for fatally stabbing a woman in the neck at a bus stop in Fredericksburg. Fairfax County has a history of refusing to honor immigration detainers. In late 2025, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador killed a man just a day after a Fairfax County jail failed to honor an immigration detainer ICE had placed on him. Governor Spanberger signed an executive order that prohibits local and state law enforcement from working with ICE. The executive order repeals the prior order from her Republican predecessor, Governor Glenn Youngkin, which allowed local and state law enforcement to work with ICE.

Anti-ICE Agitator Doxxes ICE Officer in North Carolina The doxxing attempt comes at a time that ICE officers are facing an increase in assaults, vehicular attacks, and death threats WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today released the following statement regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after an anti-ICE agitator doxxed an ICE law enforcement officer. On March 23, ICE received a report about a postcard being mailed to ICE officers neighbors that read “Beware! Your neighbor is an ICE agent” with a photo of a neighboring ICE officer’s face in an attempt to doxx him. Our law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them while they put their lives on the line to remove public safety threats from American neighborhoods. “Our ICE law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them while they risk their lives every single day to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists, and gang members from American neighborhoods,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.” The public can report doxing and harassment against ICE officers by calling 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or by completing ICE’s online tip form.

On February 14, 2026, officers with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) arrested Tasiguano Leon, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador and Latin Kings gang member for assault. Despite an arrest detainer lodged against him, sanctuary politicians RELEASED Tasiguano Leon from jail back into the community.

He remains in ICE custody pending removal from the U.S. Tasiguano Leon first illegally entered the United States on November 11, 2022 through the southern border. Despite entering the country illegally, he was RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration. This gang member was previously arrested for assault and family neglect. Tasiguano Leon was issued a final order of removal by a judge on February 27, 2025. “New York sanctuary politicians chose to release this Latin Kings gang member from jail back into New York City communities. This gang member was previously arrested for assault and family neglect,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Not only was this illegal alien released by the Biden administration, but he was also released again by New York’s sanctuary politicians. Enough is enough. Sanctuary politicians must stop releasing criminal illegal aliens back into our communities to perpetrate more crimes.” New York City’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an Executive Order turning New York City into a shield for violent criminal illegal aliens to reoffend and create more innocent victims.
