He is jailed without bond. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking to keep him in custody and prevent his release, citing concerns about Virginia\u2019s sanctuary policies. A Department of Homeland Security release quotes Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis urging Governor Spanberger to ensure he remains jailed and is not released back into the community. Police say the infant died from blunt-force trauma after being found unresponsive; first responders attempted to revive her, but she died at a hospital, and investigators noted signs of abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez Gomez reportedly crossed into the United States in July 2023, entering through New Mexico.
