An Illinois County sheriff says a recent sexual assault of a minor allegedly at the hands of an illegal foreign national reveals the problems with Illinois being a “sanctuary state.”
Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey shared recently a 6-year-old girl was sexually assaulted. The suspect was referenced as a step father and arrested.
“As it turns out, during that time we received a detainer from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and that’s how we discovered that he was here illegally,” Downey told The Center Square.
Last year, the suspect, Juan Alvizar, was cited separately for a seat belt violation and driving up to 25 miles an hour over the limit. He now faces charges of criminal sexual assault of a child, a Class X felony.
