Guatemalan Immigrant Charged with Kidnapping, Assaulting Minor in Florida

Marvin Perez Lopez, recently released by border authorities, now faces serious criminal charges after a distressing incident involving an 11-year-old girl.

Lopez was arrested in Florida for allegedly kidnapping and sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl.
He was initially detained at the U.S.-Mexico border in January and released with a 2027 court date.
The victim's mother intervened during the assault, leading to Lopez's capture by local police.
Immigration officials have placed a detainer on Lopez following his arrest.
The case has reignited debates over border security and immigration policy under the current administration.
