The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against Mejia-Ayala, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/suspect-nabbed-in-firebombing-of-pro-life-clinic-after-dobbs-leak\/\" title=\"Suspect Nabbed In Firebombing Of Pro-Life Clinic After Dobbs Leak\">faces charges related<\/a> to the infant&#8217;s strangulation. The baby was attacked on a Wednesday and passed away several days later after being hospitalized. Police have described the incident as a deliberate act of murder, not an accident, and additional charges are expected. Mejia-Ayala was previously arrested for reckless driving in 2024 but was released before ICE could issue a detainer.He reportedly entered the U.S. in 2016 and was allowed to remain after his immigration case was dismissed in 2024. Authorities are continuing their examination and are committed to ensuring accountability.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A baby allegedly strangled by an illegal immigrant in Leesburg, Virginia, has died.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer for Alvaro Mejia-Ayala, who has been charged with using a white charging cord to strangle the infant, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2025\/09\/23\/ice-lodges-detainer-criminal-illegal-alien-charged-strangulation-infant-cord\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a> from the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What kind of sick monster strangles a defenseless, innocent baby girl with a charging cord?
