The Department of Homeland Security is urging "sanctuary politicians in Wisconsin" not to release a Nicaraguan national who was arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting an elderly victim, according to a statement Wednesday.

He was arrested last month after a residential care facility in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, reported to police that an employee may have assaulted vulnerable residents, according to remained in the country unlawfully.
"This illegal alien is charged with two counts of sexual assault of an elderly victim at an assisted living facility," Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in the DHS statement. "This dirtbag was released into the country by the Biden Administration. DHS is calling on sanctuary politicians in Dane County, Wisconsin to NOT release this criminal from jail back onto the streets to commit more crimes."
"We need Wisconsin sanctuary politicians to cooperate with us to remove criminals from our country," she added.
