Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) requested meetings with several criminal illegal aliens, including an 18th Street Gang member convicted of kidnapping, while touring the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Farmville Detention Center in Prince Edward County, Virginia, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials revealed.
On August 8, Beyer visited the detention center and afterward claimed that 75 percent of the illegal alien detainees were not criminals. In fact, about 66 percent of the detainees have criminal records or pending charges against them, DHS officials say.
Likewise, DHS officials say Beyer requested meetings with illegal alien Ricardo Hernandez Mendez, an 18th Street Gang member.
Mendez’s criminal record includes convictions for parental kidnapping, assault and battery, burglary to commit armed larceny, armed petit larceny, abduction by force, intimidation or deception, misdemeanor assault, and simple assault.
