Source summary

ICE lodged an arrest detainer for Juan Ramon Juarez-Talamantes, a Mexican national arrested in Asheville on November 19, 2025, on two counts of rape of a child under 15 and later charged with a third count after a third victim was identified. The agency says local sanctuary policies in North Carolina have led to nearly 1,400 detainers not being honored and is urging Asheville officials not to release the suspect without notifying ICE. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin publicly condemned the alleged crimes and called for local cooperation with ICE; the release notes that victims can contact the VOICE Office for support.
