Share this @internewscast.com

A Honduran national residing illegally in the U.S. was apprehended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents following the dismissal of several charges against him by local authorities. These charges included child abduction and home invasion.

Agents with ICE in Washington, D.C., arrested Hyrum Baquedano-Rodriguez, 26, in Fairfax, Virginia, on May 2, officials said in a news release. 

“Despite the court’s decision to drop his most recent charges, Hyrum Baquedano-Rodriguez has numerous convictions in Virginia and poses a significant threat to the residents of Virginia,” stated Russell Hott, Field Office Director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations in Washington, D.C.

Officials said his charges include abduction of a person with intent to defile and burglary, entering a house to murder, rape, etc.

On May 2, 2025, the Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court dismissed Baquedano-Rodriguez’s charges for abduction of a person with intent to defile and burglary: entering a home with the intent to murder, rape, etc.

However, later that day, officers with ICE Washington D.C. arrested him in Fairfax, Virginia, and served him with a warrant of removal. Baquedano-Rodriguez remains in ICE custody.

This was not the first time a Honduran national with a criminal background was released by Fairfax County officials.

Last April, Fairfax County repeatedly released a Honduran national charged with sex crimes and ignored an ICE detainer request. 

Immigration officials arrested the 30-year-old Honduran national at his residence in Bladensburg, Maryland, on April 15, after Fairfax County twice released him.

“This Honduran noncitizen stands accused of some very serious crimes and represented a threat to the children of the Washington, D.C. area,” ICE said. “When local jurisdictions have policies in place which prohibit them from cooperating with ICE ERO and from honoring our lawfully issued detainers and administrative warrants, they put the suspects, law enforcement officers, and most importantly, the members of our local communities at risk.”

ICE said that it was unknown when and where exactly the Honduran national originally entered the U.S. The agency said the man was arrested and released multiple times on charges of sex crimes with a child.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vowed to continue to “keep fighting every day” to secure the border.

“100 days ago, I took an oath to serve this country as Secretary of Homeland Security. I will continue fighting every day alongside President Donald Trump to secure our border and keep American communities safe. This is just the beginning of the Golden Age of America. God bless this great country,” Noem wrote in a post on X.
