Man accused of abducting 4-year-old freed from jail, arrested by ICE

  • Hyrum Baquedano-Rodriguez, a 26-year-old Honduran national accused of abducting a 4-year-old, was freed from jail and subsequently arrested by ICE in Fairfax, Virginia on May 2, 2025.
  • Charges against Baquedano-Rodriguez related to abducting a person for sexual purposes and unlawful entry were dismissed after judges refused plea deals due to concerns over evidence and potential risks to public safety.
  • Baquedano-Rodriguez has a history of crimes in Virginia involving minors, including indecent liberties charges in 2021 and a 2022 conviction for entering property with intent to damage.
  • ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Director Russell Hott described Baquedano-Rodriguez as a serious threat to the safety of Virginia communities and emphasized that ICE will focus on removing criminal aliens to ensure public protection.
  • The case highlights tensions between local authorities dropping charges despite ICE detainer requests and a shared emphasis by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on securing the border and protecting communities.
