ICE deportes Mexican man convicted of abusing his daughter in Virginia

ICE confirmed the deportation of Marcelo Vasquez Reyna, a Mexican citizen who was found guilty of sexually abusing his daughter in Albemarle County, Virginia. The Department of Homeland Security described him as a "depraved freak" and emphasized that such offenders have no sanctuary in the United States. Vasquez Reyna had entered a guilty plea in March for a charge involving a parent violating a child between the ages of 15 and 17, receiving a sentence of five years and six months with five years suspended, and faced additional accusations of attempted rape and abduction.

Local media reported that his daughter lived in fear due to repeated assaults. The action comes as Virginia experiences a series of violent and sexual crimes linked to illegal immigrants, including incidents in Fairfax County involving other detainees. Governor Abigail Spanberger has faced criticism over her policies toward immigration enforcement, having rescinded a prior executive order that aided ICE cooperation with state agencies. The case highlights ongoing tensions over immigration and public safety in the state.
