DHS calls rape of autistic teen ‘most heinous we’ve seen’ as ICE detainer tests California sanctuary laws
Fox News ^ | 1/29/26 | Charles Creitz

EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security lodged a detainer Thursday in California in the case of an illegal immigrant accused of a crime that a top official there is calling the "most heinous one we’ve ever seen."

DHS has been pressing sanctuary states and sanctuary cities to respect and honor ICE detainers for public safety and national security reasons, with little headway from those jurisdictions, telling Fox News Digital they hope this is the case that will change their minds.

A 20-year-old Mexican national, Enrique Bautista-Vasquez, was charged with rape, a sentence enhancement for sexual assault of a person unable to consent and sexual assault of a victim deemed to be "particularly vulnerable" and is being held in Indio after the alleged attack in nearby Cathedral City, according to NBC’s Palm Springs affiliate.

The Trump administration alerted Fox News Digital to the detainer request being filed with Sacramento Thursday, with a top DHS official characterizing the alleged crimes as among the worst they've seen.

On December 31, Bautista-Vasquez encountered the 14-year-old girl — who is autistic and who reports said habitually wanders from home due to her condition — on a nearby small college campus, where officials say he convinced her to follow him through a business park and eventually to his home, according to DHS.

There, Bautista-Vasquez allegedly sodomized the girl and had "vaginal intercourse," according to a police official speaking with local media.

It would be amusing to attend “anti-ICE” protests carrying signs with this character’s name and picture looking for sympathy for this person captured by ICE.

Come to think of it, there are a lot of other illegal aliens who have committed violent crimes who could be used. The posters could be handed out to other protesters.

They should cut off his dindong.

Then he'd still have his mouth, which he would run on about evil ICE gringos.

No - kill him and be done.

Can’t we do both?

This criminal is being held in Riverside County...Sheriff Chad Bianco is in charge of Riverside County jails...

Sheriff Bianco is running for CA governor as a Republican...

No, he will not hand over this criminal to ICE...That would be against CA law...I do not think ICE got the warrant from a judge for this criminal...CA law requires ICE to get a warrant from a judge...

I really do not think Sheriff Bianco will violate the CA law...
