Overview
ICE lodged a detainer for 28‑year‑old Misael Lopez Gomez, who police charged with second‑degree murder and felony child abuse after his three‑month‑old daughter died of blunt‑force trauma, officials said.
ICE lodged two detainers this week in Fairfax County murder cases as DHS pressed Governor Abigail Spanberger to honor detainers amid her executive order barring local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis called the cases "another preventable tragedy" and DHS urged Spanberger and Fairfax officials not to release the suspects, officials said.
Recent cases include Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy charged with second‑degree murder in a machete stabbing, Israel Flores Ortiz facing 13 counts for alleged groping, and Abdul Jalloh with more than 30 prior arrests, DHS said.
Gomez remains jailed without bond at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center as investigators continue reviewing the cases and ICE detainers remain lodged, officials said.
