ICE Asks Governor Spanberger and Virginia Sanctuary Politicians in Arlington County to Not Release Illegal Alien Accused of Raping Woman in Northern Virginia  ICE seeks to deport Guatemalan illegal alien, accused rapist with at least 25 prior charges WASHINGTON ––U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requested Governor Abigail Spanberger and Arlington sanctuary politicians not release Luzvin Orvando Garcia Moran, a 28-year-old criminal illegal alien from Guatemala. He is facing charges that include abduction of a person with intent to defile, sodomy by force or victim helplessness, and assault.   On April 14, 2026, ICE requested the Arlington County Jail not release this predator from jail back into American communities. According to local reports, Moran approached the victim on the early morning of April 12. When she walked away, Moran followed her and violently shoved her against a wall and physically and sexually assaulted her. The victim fought back and broke free, but Moran continued to chase after her to further assault her. Moran escaped when two good samaritans intervened, but local police later tracked him down and arrested him.  Luzvin Orvando Garcia Moran  According to Arlington County Court records, Moran has at least 25 prior charges dating back to 2020, including nine counts of being intoxicated in public, assault and battery, disorderly conduct, attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer, and several probation violations.   Moran entered the United States at an unknown date and unknown time.  Arlington County is just miles away from Sanctuary Fairfax County, where illegal aliens have committed 75% of murders in 2026.   “Virginia's sanctuary policies allowed this illegal alien to go on a crime spree,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Despite prior arrests by law enforcement, this criminal was released from jail multiple times before he went on to commit this heinous rape. We are calling on Arlington County sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing this criminal from jail back into our communities. How many more times must they release criminals into our neighborhoods to create more innocent victims?”  During her first days in office, Governor Spanberger signed executive orders banning state cooperation with ICE as well as terminating 287(g) state and local agreements. ICE is working around the clock to remove criminals with no right to be in the U.S. Americans can report tips to ICE by using the ICE Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423) or visiting the official ICE website at www.ice.gov.
