New details have emerged on the viral arrest of a man who attempted to flee from a group of federal agents not far from the National Mall on Wednesday afternoon, prompting a deleted X post from Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov after she initially defended the suspect.
Footage obtained by NBC Washington shows a group of federal agents and D.C. Metropolitan Police officers stopping a Hispanic man driving a blue SUV. Almost immediately after exiting the vehicle, the man attempted to flee and was subsequently tackled by one of the agents.
As he was being restrained, the man yelled, in Spanish, that he was “not a criminal” and wanted to be with his family. “Just saw DC Police + federal agents detain a man on the National Mall. He appeared to try to escape, then was quickly tackled to the ground by several agents + was screaming in Spanish ‘please, I’m not a criminal, I work here, I want to be with my family,'” NBC’s Aimee Cho reported, providing a sympathetic overview of the situation.
Details of the arrest, nor the suspect, were not immediately available. The Department of Homeland Security provided additional details in an X post a few hours later, however.
“This illegal alien from Mexico was previously arrested in January 2024 in Fairfax County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13,” the department posted on X alongside a meme mocking Cho’s post.
“He entered and had a final order of removal and chose to voluntary return- twice. Illegally entered 3 times. Thank you to law enforcement for getting him off of Washington DC’s streets.”
Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov was among the handful of liberals who criticized the arrest without knowing any details of the case. “This doesn’t make D.C. safer,” Tarlov posted on X. “The cruelty is always the point.”
Tarlov found herself on the receiving end of intense backlash once details surrounding the arrest were released to the public. “Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov rushed to the defense of an illegal alien who was arrested for s*xual assault on a child under the age of 13. She really is the worst,” said Florida’s Voice contributor Eric Daugherty.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller also weighed in on the controversy in a post of his own. “Why are you defending a criminal illegal alien invader charged with sexually assaulting a child?” Miller wrote.
“I didn’t know he was – the DHS memo on him came out hours after the video,” Tarlov responded after deleting the initial post. “Wouldn’t ever defend such a person! Hopefully you guys will only go after these types versus hardworking folks that have committed no crimes! Will delete my original tweet.”
The viral arrest was made as part of the Trump Administration’s crackdown on crime in Washington D.C.
President Trump took control of D.C. police by applying the Home Rule Act on Aug. 7, 2025. As part of his strategy, the president has deployed 1,450 police and National Guard troops, marking the first time law enforcement assets in the capital have been brought under federal control.

What a Ditzy POS she is. Argumentative, ignorant, and insufferable.
Stupid is as stupid does, is that how it goes?
they are going to destroy her the five
“Backlash” is being too kind. That implies that she made an intelligent argument that people pushed back on. Her tweets are based on sheer stupidity.
Will delete my original tweet.”
And maybe STFU until you have actual facts and not some stupid leftist [i know...I am repeating myself] reaction...
Can’t stand her voice.
Whatever Fox News pays her it is not enough; she takes a public beating every time she is on The Five. I don’t know how she holds up.
If liberal Jessica did not exist we would have to invent her.
She should have used the Bongino rule.
Public humiliation is obviously her kink.
i hope she’s on tonight
Ya think? Behind the scenes they are all friendly I would imagine and the faux back and forths are for show.
She’s reflexively idiotic! The girl can’t help it.
The kind of little b*tch that starts arguments at Thanksgiving and Xmas dinners. an insufferable little tw*t.
Fox news loves her. She’s one of the reasons I get my news elsewhere these days.
Is “ditz” still in common usage?
Tarlov makes a fool out of herself. Maybe it is deliberate. She makes the other 4 look extremely intelligent.
Where's the apology? "The I'm sorry for getting this so terribly wrong, I should do my homework and stop being reflexively stupid."
Sorry, but ‘the 5’ is a joke... All five of them.
