An illegal alien with a long rap sheet has been arrested in Virginia for charges of rape and kidnapping, raising alarms about the state's sanctuary policies.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has pointed to this incident as part of a broader issue of illegal alien crime in Virginia, particularly under the current administration.

Critics argue that such policies may contribute to public safety concerns, as they may allow individuals with serious criminal backgrounds to evade law enforcement.
