Illegal Alien Gets Only 180 Days for 9 Assault and Battery Counts

An illegal alien adult who was attending a Virginia high school has a conviction on nine counts of assault and battery on fellow students, but received less than a year in prison as this sentence.
Israel Flores Ortiz is an 18-year-old El Salvadoran not fluent in English who entered the U.S. in 2024 and secured release from the Biden administration. Ortiz attended Fairfax High School in Virginia, where he repeatedly groped girls throughout the school year. The school authorities ignored the issue as long as they could, Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid refused to honor an ICE detainer on Ortiz, and Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano tried to release Ortiz. Now there is this shamefully inadequate sentence for Ortiz.
To emphasize how stupid this sentence is, Ortiz received a mere 20 days in prison for each count of assault and battery. Think of the physical harm and trauma he caused all those girls, and only 20 days for each crime against them.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement condemning the woefully insufficient sentence. “This adult criminal illegal alien should NOT have been attending a Virginia high school and allowed to prey on innocent teenage girls,” the DHS posted. “His sentencing to only 180 days for his convictions for nine counts of assault and battery is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. We are once again calling on Governor Spanberger and her fellow sanctuary politicians to NOT RELEASE this sexual predator from jail back into our communities to victimize more innocent women.”
