ICE has pressed Virginia officials to detain 28-year-old Guatemalan national Misael Lopez Gomez, who was arrested in Fairfax County and charged with second-degree murder and felony child abuse after his three-month-old daughter died of blunt force trauma, the medical examiner found. DHS says Lopez Gomez admitted to illegally crossing the U.S. border in July 2023, ICE has lodged a detainer, and officials are urging Gov. Abigail Spanberger to honor detainers as part of a broader push linking the case to other recent Fairfax County crimes involving undocumented immigrants.
