3 illegal aliens arrested in major Virginia child exploitation sting released on bond

Three of nine men arrested in a Virginia child exploitation sting are illegal aliens with lengthy criminal histories, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News. The three men have since been released on bond.

The suspects allegedly traveled to Fairfax County to meet with minors for sexual encounters after engaging in sexually explicit conversations online with undercover detectives posing as juveniles, police said Wednesday.

The three illegal aliens were identified as Reyben Leono Sanchez Hernandez, 21, of El Salvador; Wilmer Alexander Aguilar Cruz, 28, of El Salvador; and Henry Adalberto Flores Herrera, 39, DHS told Fox News.

DHS said the three men were previously caught illegally entering the U.S. before being released during the Obama administration. DHS blamed the administration’s immigration policies and Fairfax County’s "sanctuary" policies for what it described as an influx of criminal illegal aliens.
