Due to this sanctuary policy, the illegal alien was allowed to be released on bond into the community before the rape conviction, serving only a “few weeks” in prison, Volkodav said.
Alvarado was out on bond for three and a half years.
“It’s shocking that a child predator was released into an unsuspecting community simply because federal laws that should protect them were not in place at the time of his arrest,” Sheriff Butch Conway told the Gwinnett Daily Post.
“One can only hope he didn’t victimize other children while he was free on bond,” Conway said. “Fortunately, the 287(g) program operating under the current administration allows us to place a detainer under these circumstances, which greatly helps us protect our community from these child predators.”
Alvarado was convicted on one count of rape and one count of child molestation. The illegal alien was given a mandatory minimum sentence of life with the first 25 years in prison.
