Full statement from the Department of Homeland Security:
The Biden administration hand-delivered Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos to the streets of Fairfax County.
Cedillos-Campos is a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador who was arrested by CBP in 2024, after illegally crossing the Biden administration’s open border near El Paso, TX.
After his arrest, he was RELEASED into the interior of our country.
The Biden administration recklessly unleashed millions of unvetted illegal aliens into American communities and abused the law to do so.
President Trump and @SecMullinDHS are now enforcing the law, arresting illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country—and have reversed Biden’s deadly catch and release policy.
We are urging Governor Spanberger to put her community first and turn over this criminal illegal alien to ICE.
According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Cedillos-Campos illegally entered the US in April 2024 and was released on his own recognizance by the Biden Regime.
