Surveillance video released of a immigrant kidnapping a girl at a shopping mall in Fairfax, Virginia

In another alarming incident that raises serious questions about public safety and immigration control in the United States, surveillance footage from a shopping mall in Fairfax, Virginia, captured the exact moment when a man, identified as Andrés Casares Jordán —a suspected inmigrant— abducted a young girl in broad daylight. The shocking video shows the child walking out alone from the play area while her father was distracted with another child. Seconds later, the suspect appears, watches her, follows her, and effortlessly picks her up as if she were his own daughter.

This chilling act occurred inside a shopping center—supposedly one of the safest spaces for families. The man carried the girl in his arms and walked into a nearby store. Coincidentally, the child’s mother was inside that same store. Upon seeing a stranger holding her daughter, she immediately confronted him. The perpetrator let the girl go and fled. Thankfully, thanks to the mother's alertness and swift action by Fairfax County Police, the suspect was identified and arrested shortly after.

The case was first reported by News 4, which also obtained the criminal complaint. According to the report, the girl’s father did not realize she had left the play area, raising questions about supervision. However, beyond a parental oversight, the fact that a man could abduct a minor in public without intervention is a nationwide concern.

The arrested individual, Andrés Casares Jordán, faces multiple serious charges including attempted kidnapping and child endangerment. Even more concerning, immigration authorities have not disclosed his legal status, sparking speculation that he may be in the country illegally. Residents across Virginia are demanding answers and tighter enforcement on who is allowed to enter and stay in the country.

The incident is now being used by border security advocates as yet another example of how the Biden administration’s lenient immigration policies are endangering American families. This is not the first case of a inmigrant arrested for violent crimes, but the fact that this one was caught on camera and widely circulated has reignited public outrage among parents concerned for their children’s safety.

Local officials have yet to issue a firm statement, and law enforcement continues to investigate the suspect’s background. For many, however, crimes like these should never happen —especially not by individuals who should not be in the country to begin with.

This case reignites the national conversation on the federal government’s responsibility —especially President Joe Biden’s— to protect American citizens. More and more parents now wonder whether it’s safe to take their children to a shopping mall or a public playground without risking a predator taking advantage in mere seconds.
