Illegal immigrant accused of abduction, rape in Virginia overstayed visa: ICE
Fox News
An illegal immigrant charged with abduction and rape of a juvenile in Leesburg, Virginia had overstayed a visa that expired in 2021, ICE confirmed to Fox.
ICE confirmed to Fox that it had placed a detainer requesting that De Leon be handed over to immigration officials to be put into deportation proceedings whenever he is released. The agency said De Leon entered on a nonimmigrant or temporary visa on Oct 14, 2020, and became an illegal immigrant when he failed to leave the U.S. by April 21, 2021, in accordance with the terms of his visa.

ICE did not say which visa De Leon arrived with, but former ICE official Jon Feere, who first reported De Leon’s immigration status, said it was a tourist visa, which would be consistent with the short length of permitted stay.
