An illegal immigrant from El Salvador has been sentenced <\/a>to 30 years for repeatedly raping an 11-year-old girl in Virginia Beach, local officials said Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Virginia Beach Sheriff\u2019s Office shared Ricardo Leonel Mejia’s custody status on X and cited “numerous public inquiries” about Mejia’s case.<\/p>\n

“Mejia, a citizen of El Salvador<\/a>, will serve his 30-year sentence at the Virginia Department of Corrections before being transferred to ICE custody,” the post read.<\/p>\n

The case has sparked debate among Virginia\u2019s leaders who are disputing whether the state should limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ICE HAULS IN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CONVICTED OF CHILD CRIMES IN NATIONWIDE WEDNESDAY SWEEP: ‘CLEAR MESSAGE’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger says that one of her first acts in office would be to reverse Gov. Glenn Youngkin\u2019s immigration enforcement policies making Virginia a “sanctuary state,” according to the Republican Governors Association.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This policy would prevent local law enforcement from assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in cases like Mejia\u2019s, where ICE has issued a detainer for an undocumented immigrant convicted of serious crimes.<\/p>\n

Virginia GOP governor candidate, Winsome Earle-Sears reacted by sharing a post on X and said she was “sickened beyond words.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meija, 35, was convicted of multiple counts of raping <\/a>a child under 13, indecent liberties with a minor, and statutory burglary after pleading guilty in Virginia Beach Circuit Court, according to documents seen by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The assaults happened in 2024, when Mejia was hired to renovate a family\u2019s bathroom.<\/p>\n

The abuse came to light when the victim\u2019s mother discovered him in her daughter\u2019s bed after forcing open a locked door with a butter knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mejia fled the home through a window, but was later identified and arrested.<\/p>\n

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed Mejia was in the country illegally and has issued a detainer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following his sentence at the Virginia Department of Corrections, ICE said he will be transferred to custody for further proceedings.<\/p>\n

During his sentencing, Mejia apologized to the victim, saying, “I know I am not the only one experiencing hard times. I\u2019m sorry for the pain she is going through in this process.”<\/p>\n

Records show Mejia was booked into the Virginia Beach Correctional Center on Oct. 9, 2024.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office for further comment.
