Fox News Digital has learned that the Department of Homeland Security has asked Spanberger and «sanctuary politicians» in Arlington, Virginia, to honor a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer on a Guatemalan illegal immigrant charged with attempted rape.

The illegal immigrant, Luzvin Orvando Garcia Moran, 28, faces charges of abduction of a person with intent to defile, sodomy by force or victim helplessness, and assault in connection with an attempted rape, according to DHS.

Local outlet ABC7 reported that Garcia Moran allegedly approached a woman waiting on a rideshare around 6 a.m. on Sunday and attempted to force himself on her. She attempted to escape multiple times but was grabbed, shoved against a wall, and assaulted. The outlet reported that two good Samaritans intervened to stop the assault but that the assailant escaped.

Garcia Moran was arrested in connection to the assault and is being held without bond.

Since Arlington has several sanctuary policies limiting local cooperation with ICE, DHS said the agency lodged a detainer request with the Arlington County Jail to ensure that Garcia Moran is not released back into the community.  

DHS said that Garcia Moran entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown date. Citing Arlington County Court records, the agency said he has «at least» 25 prior charges dating back to 2020, including nine counts of being intoxicated in public, assault and battery, disorderly conduct, attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer and several probation violations.

This comes as Spanberger is facing mounting pressure from ICE and local citizens to reverse her executive order limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities in the face of a slew of attacks and a sexual assault in nearby Fairfax County.

Recent crimes by illegal aliens in Fairfax County include multiple murders by stabbing, a baby killing and a string of gropings by an 18-year-old of minor girls at a high school. Illegal aliens committed 75 percent of the murders in Fairfax County thus far in 2026, according to DHS.

Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis charged that it is «Virginia’s sanctuary policies [that] allowed this illegal alien to go on a crime spree.»

«Despite prior arrests by law enforcement, this criminal was released from jail multiple times before he went on to commit this heinous rape,» said Bis. «We are calling on Arlington County sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing this criminal from jail back into our communities.»

Guatemala: Las lluvias e inundaciones mantienen evacuaciones en Alta Verapaz que incluyen el Hospital

Published

on


Personal de asistencia y civiles rescatan bienes y movilizan a personas en áreas afectadas por inundaciones. Un grupo de individuos, algunos con chalecos salvavidas y uniformes militares, transportan un refrigerador blanco a través de agua marrón profunda. Una mujer se encuentra cerca en el agua. En otra escena, personas con chalecos de seguridad naranja trasladan una camilla por una pasarela inundada. Las imágenes son cobertura de un evento.

Las lluvias, las inundaciones y las evacuaciones marcaron este 11 de julio en Alta Verapaz, donde más de 7 mil personas resultaron afectadas y las autoridades mantienen la respuesta ante una emergencia que puede extenderse porque se pronostica que las precipitaciones continúen en el territorio nacional.

La Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres registró ese impacto en varios municipios del departamento. Los sectores más afectados son Chahal, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas y San Cristóbal Verapaz, donde el agua ingresó a viviendas y obligó a movilizar a familias enteras.

En Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, los Bomberos Municipales Departamentales continúan con las evacuaciones en barrios y comunidades anegadas. Entre las zonas señaladas por los socorristas figuran Los Laureles, La Vilmita, Santa Rosa, la comunidad Chinacobejá y el sector María del Carmen.

El traslado de los afectados se realiza hacia casas de familiares, al salón comunal del barrio La Vilmita y a la Casa de la Cultura de Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas. Las unidades de emergencia siguen desplegadas en las áreas inundadas para asistir a la población.

El Ejército de Guatemala informó que personal de la Sexta Brigada de Infantería “CAJDI” presta ayuda humanitaria dentro del Hospital Nacional de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, en Alta Verapaz, como parte de las labores de atención derivadas de las inundaciones causadas por las lluvias intensas.

La institución indicó que estas acciones forman parte del trabajo coordinado para apoyar a la población durante la emergencia. El apoyo militar se concentra en el interior del centro asistencial, en paralelo con las tareas de rescate y evacuación que desarrollan los cuerpos de socorro en el municipio.

La emergencia también afecta la movilidad terrestre. La acumulación de lluvia dejó varios kilómetros de carretera bajo el agua en el tramo entre Chahal y Cadenas, lo que complica el paso en ese sector.

Ese cuadro responde de forma directa a la pregunta central de la emergencia: quiénes están afectados y qué está ocurriendo. En Alta Verapaz, miles de personas sufren inundaciones en sus residencias, mientras bomberos, autoridades de protección civil y personal militar sostienen evacuaciones, asistencia y atención en infraestructura pública.

Fuera de Alta Verapaz, el riesgo inmediato también se concentra en Izabal. Según el Instituto Nacional de Sismología, Vulcanología, Meteorología e Hidrología, los municipios de Livingston y El Estor presentan una saturación del suelo igual o superior al 90% en la capa superior, hasta 30 centímetros de profundidad.

De acuerdo con el Insivumeh, esa condición favorece que la lluvia se deslice directamente hacia ríos, riachuelos, quebradas y zanjones. El resultado es un aumento en la posibilidad de crecidas, inundaciones en distintas áreas e inestabilidad del terreno con riesgo de deslizamientos.

El organismo científico advirtió además que en esa zona del Caribe del país podrían registrarse lluvias continuas durante seis horas, un volumen que eleva de forma considerable la cantidad de agua acumulada. Por eso recomendó mantener la alerta ante crecidas e inundaciones repentinas.

El monitoreo también identifica otras áreas vulnerables, en especial la Franja Transversal del Norte y el área del río Polochic. Aun así, el mayor nivel de riesgo se ubica en los municipios caribeños mencionados por el Insivumeh.

La mañana de este sábado se informaba que la temporada de lluvias en Guatemala dejó desde el 19 de abril hasta este 11 de julio un saldo de 23.944 personas afectadas, nueve muertes y 796 emergencias atendidas, un impacto que se concentra con fuerza en Alta Verapaz y que también alcanza carreteras, puentes, escuelas y redes eléctricas, según la actualización de la Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres.

El informe oficial añade que 236 carreteras y 12 puentes presentan daños, junto con 18 escuelas, tres edificios públicos y nueve redes de energía eléctrica afectadas. La infraestructura golpeada acompaña un balance humano que incluye 11.589 evacuados y 616 personas albergadas.

La CONRED reportó además 5,448 familias afectadas y 4,875 damnificadas. El organismo registró tres personas heridas, siete hospitalizadas y cuatro desaparecidas en incidentes asociados a las condiciones climáticas.

Las viviendas figuran entre los daños más extendidos de la época lluviosa. De 5.056 casas con algún nivel de afectación, 4.533 sufrieron daño moderado, 232 daño leve y 110 daño grave, mientras 181 permanecen en riesgo y hasta el corte del reporte no se consignaban viviendas destruidas.

La Municipalidad de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, Alta Verapaz, informó que se mantiene la Alerta Roja Municipal debido a las intensas lluvias registradas en la región. Como parte de las acciones de prevención y respuesta, se prepara la movilización de ayuda humanitaria destinada a las familias afectadas.

Los equipos municipales continúan desplegados en las áreas urbana y rural, coordinando esfuerzos con instituciones de respuesta para atender las emergencias y dar seguimiento a las necesidades de la población.

‘Die Hard’ actor Robert Davi blasts Mamdani after NYC map omits Little Italy

«Die Hard» actor Robert Davi blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Friday after a city map highlighting immigrant enclaves omitted Little Italy.

The «New York City Immigrant Enclaves» map resurfaced on social media earlier this week after users pointed out it omitted Little Italy, as well as historically Jewish and Irish neighborhoods, despite highlighting 30 immigrant communities across the five boroughs.

Following criticism from Italian-American groups, the city said it plans to update the map to include Little Italy.

Davi, who was born in Astoria, Queens, lashed out at Mamdani in a video posted on X, calling him a «jerk» for snubbing Little Italy.

«I hope every New York Italian American and Irish American spits on you when they see you,» Davi said. «I would spit on you if I saw you. Shame on you, you garbage man. Shame on you. Respect the city you’re in and understand the people who helped build it.»

«My grandparents came from Sicily and Naples and they taught me, speak the English. This is America. God bless America,» the 75-year-old «Licence to Kill» actor said.

The veteran actor also suggested the mayor, whom he described as a «leftist Marxist Communist,» leave the United States.

«Go back to where you were born, Mamdani,» Davi said. «You don’t belong in America.»

Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, and moved to the United States when he was 7 years old.

Davi also suggested there should be a constitutional amendment preventing Mamdani from running for public office.

«You should spend time in America, at least a generation, especially those of you that come from a country that has a totally different philosophical ideology bent,» he said.

The mayor’s office previously directed Fox News Digital to remarks Mamdani made during an unrelated press conference Friday, where he defended the map and said it had originally been created under the previous administration in 2023.

«This map was initially created by the prior administration in 2023, and when we inherited it, we added a few additional neighborhoods,» Mamdani said. «It’s clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic communities that call our city home, and we’re going to be making additional changes in the future to reflect that and that includes Little Italy.»

Fox News Digital has reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment.
