DHS puts ‘sanctuary politicians’ on notice after alleged park predator was released under Biden
The Department of Homeland Security has put 'sanctuary politicians' on notice after an alleged park predator was released under the Biden administration. Moises Domingo Rico Rosales, a Nicaraguan national, was arrested on felony drug trafficking charges in 2024 but was released after local officials refused to cooperate with federal immigration officials. The case is drawing renewed scrutiny to Northern Virginia's fight over ICE detainers and sanctuary-style policies, with DHS calling on Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing Rico Rosales and instead turn him over to ICE custody.
