WASHINGTON—Under a sanctuary policy, an illegal immigrant walked free from the Philadelphia Department of Prisons and went on to rape a child, according to the Department of Justice.
While Juan Ramon Vasquez, a citizen of Honduras, was in custody in 2015, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) placed a detainer on him—requesting that the prison transfer custody to the agency. ICE had information that Vasquez had been deported in 2009 and had illegally re-entered the United States in 2014, a felony.
