ICE Lodges Detainer for Illegal Alien Charged with Attempted Murder and Kidnapping After Stabbing Teenage Girl

This illegal alien was RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration

WASHINGTON – The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer asking authorities in Maryland to not release an illegal alien accused of kidnapping and stabbing a 15-year-old girl.

According to local reporting, the incident occurred in Baltimore on October 22. The suspect, Abubakarr Barrie, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone, picked up the victim and brought her to a basement property that he was renting at the time. Once inside, he allegedly stabbed her several times before she managed to escape and was eventually encountered by police officers.

Baltimore Police arrested Barrie and charged him with attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping. ICE lodged a detainer for Barrie on October 24.

Barrie had previously been arrested by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) in July 2026 on charges of third-degree possession of a forged instrument. Although ICE lodged a detainer, New York sanctuary politicians refused to honor it and released Barrie back onto the streets, just three months before he went on to allegedly commit this latest heinous crime in Maryland.

“This illegal alien is charged with attempted murder and kidnapping after he allegedly stabbed a 15-year-old girl,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “This tragedy would never have happened were it not for the multiple failures of sanctuary policies. First, Biden’s open borders let this monster into our country, then sanctuary politicians in New York refused to hand him over to ICE and released him after a previous arrest three months before this horrific crime. DHS is urging Baltimore County authorities to learn from sanctuary New York’s mistakes, honor ICE’s detainer against this illegal alien, and prevent him from harming any more Americans.”

Barrie illegally entered the United States through Arizona in December 2023, and was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol. He was then RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration.
