Authorities reported that An illegal migrant from Honduras has been charged with multiple charges related to child pornography and filming of minors in Virginia.
Gherson González Hernández, 24, faces 10 charges related to child pornography material and two counts of illegally creating a videographic or still image of a minor.
The illegal filming charge is related to an alleged crime from August 2019, while the others are related to a crime from November 2023.
González Hernández was arrested on February 9.
In a statement obtained by FOX 5, Washington, DC Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) spokesperson James Covington confirmed that Hernandez is a Honduran citizen and is “unlawfully present” in the US.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and ERO authorities have filed a detainer request for Hernandez with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held, according to the statement.
The requests ask local authorities to notify ICE agencies to hold specific inmates for up to 48 hours after their time in prison to allow immigration authorities to detain them and begin deportation proceedings.
Many jurisdictions ignore such requests because of sanctuary city policies, which prohibit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
ICE has said that the lack of cooperation results in the local law enforcement agencies release illegal migrants back into society.
