ICE calls on Dem Virginia governor to hold Guatemalan man charged with murder

A Guatemalan national in the United States illegally — who authorities say entered as a “fugitive” and was never encountered by federal immigration agents — has been charged in a fatal stabbing in Fairfax County, Virginia, Fox News has learned.

Fairfax County police said Monday that Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, 38, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, adding that he was being held without bond.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sources confirmed to Fox News that Chavarria Muy did not have an alien registration number, indicating he had never been encountered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and may have entered the United States illegally at an unknown time and location.

ICE filed a case with Fairfax County authorities.

Officers responded to a stabbing shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday and, upon arrival, located a man inside a residence with multiple injuries to his upper body.

Officers immediately took life-saving measures until Fairfax County Fire and Rescue personnel took over and transported the man to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The suspect left the scene before officers arrived, police said, and detectives with the Fairfax County Police Department’s Major Crimes Bureau took over the investigation.

After investigation, Chavarria Muy was identified as a suspect. Police said he and the victim knew each other.

Officers eventually located Chavarria Muy in a vehicle and arrested him without incident.

DHS said ICE asked Fairfax County officials to honor the detainer and not release Chavarria Muy, citing past instances where local authorities refused to comply with such requests.

Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger previously signed an executive order restricting cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, reversing a policy by former Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin that had allowed such coordination.

“Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, an illegal alien from Guatemala, was charged with second-degree murder after he repeatedly stabbed a man to death in Fairfax County. ICE is calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia sanctuary politicians not to release this murderer into our communities,” said Acting DHS Deputy Secretary Lauren Bis. “This incident comes just one month after an innocent woman was murdered by another illegal alien criminal at a bus stop in Spanberger State.

“Open border policies have once again caused another preventable tragedy.”

The incident comes about a month after Stephanie Minter was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Authorities charged Abdul Jalloh, a 32-year-old Sierra Leonean, with Minter’s murder.

Jalloh had been arrested more than 30 times before the attack, according to DHS, with previous charges including rape, intentional wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft and trespassing.

Authorities said the charges against him were dropped, allowing him to remain at large.
