Virginia's sanctuary policies face scrutiny amid rising illegal immigrant crimes

Former Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf criticizes Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger over sanctuary crime surges and exposes the hypocrisy of Iranian regime elites living in luxury across the West while their parents oppress citizens at home.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expressed outrage on social media Wednesday over Virginia's sanctuary policies, demanding Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger intervene to prevent the release of an illegal immigrant charged with the sexual battery of a 5-year-old girl.

Jose Nahun Aleman Hernandez, 43, of Woodbridge, was arrested June 3 by the Prince William Police Department and is charged with aggravated sexual battery.

According to the police report, the 5-year-old victim was at her babysitter's home when she was inappropriately touched by Hernandez, who was also inside the house.

Authorities said the alleged abuse occurred over a period spanning from January 2023 to March 2026. 

No physical injuries were reported by the child, according to the police report.

Hernandez received a $5,000 secured bond, sparking the agency's urgent public appeal to the governor to ensure he is not released back onto the streets.

"Sanctuary Spanberger’s REFUSAL to work with [ICE] has made Virginians less safe and the commonwealth a magnet for illegal alien crime," DHS wrote in the post.

The governor’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
