Stabbing Someone As An Illegal Alien Isn’t Enough For This Maryland County To Lock You Up

A liberal Maryland county released a violent illegal immigrant from jail early despite a request from 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency said Friday.

🛂Immigration agents captured Honduran man Rafael Aguilar on Jan. 13 following his release in Prince George’s County on a suspended sentence for stabbing someone in the back in April 2025, according to court records and an ICE statement. Democrat-appointed Judge Todd Steuart sentenced Aguilar to ten years in prison for assault, but freed him after 141 days with a chance to have the full sentence waived if he complied with temporary release conditions.

“Quite frankly, we did, in fact, call ICE and tell them that we had him, and we held him for 2.5 hours, but they didn’t come,” a county spokesperson told the DCNF. “We certainly always respond to a legitimate warrant, but when the judge tells us that, you know, somebody needs to be let go … it’s just not possible for us to just hold someone forever.”
