An illegal migrant from Nicaragua allegedly raped a 54-year-old woman in Chicago after he dragged her into an alley, stripped her naked and bashed her head into the concrete, the feds said.
Leyter Arauz-Medina, 21, has been in custody since he was arrested last month over the sick attack that unfolded on Aug. 31 in the Windy City’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood.

“A real-life nightmare: This criminal, who JB Pritzker continues to protect, viciously attacked an innocent woman who was walking the streets of Chicago,” Homeland Security’s assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said as she ripped the city’s sanctuary policy.
“This monster was released into our country by the Biden Administration. Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies protect criminal illegal alien rapists over American citizens. We will do everything in our power to ensure this wicked criminal never walks our streets again.”
