On June 1, 2026 the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer for Joaquin Escoto Vazquez, a 28‑year‑old Mexican national. Vazquez was arrested in Modesto on May 28 for stabbing two women and an infant, an act that killed 23‑year‑old Fabiola Gonzalez‑Nunez, 54‑year‑old Maria Sylvia Nunez‑Villalobos and baby Mateo Gonzalez. He faces homicide and cruelty‑toward‑child charges and had a history of four driving‑under‑the‑influence arrests. ICE had previously placed a detainer after a 2025 DUI arrest, but California sanctuary politicians released him without notifying ICE. DHS’s Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis condemned the release and urged California officials to honor detainers.
