ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) placed an immigration detainer against the man the following day. The Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, however, "did not honor" the ERO's request and released the man from custody on a $10,000 bond on July 10, 2023.

Fairfax County police arrested the man again in February and charged him with two additional counts of felony carnal knowledge of a child 13 to14 years of age without force, and two counts of felony indecent liberties with a child less than 15 years of age.
The jail then released the man from custody later that same day before ERO could file an immigration detainer.
During the man's arrest, ICE deportation officers served him with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge.
The Honduran national will remain in ICE custody pending the outcome of his removal proceedings.
