“Vyas allegedly even bit the toddler and knocked out two of her teeth. ICE gave a detainer to local law enforcement and asked them to turn Vyas over to ICE instead of releasing him into the community after he was brought to justice for his alleged crimes,” the agency added.

Vyas allegedly continued to attack the child, causing “body and facial injuries.” Police said the child had bite marks and two missing teeth.

“This criminal illegal alien brutally bit this child, causing her to lose two teeth,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “This brutal attack on this woman and her three-year-old child in the park was completely avoidable.”

“The Biden administration should never have released this animal after it was apprehended for an attack. We are working with our partners in Texas to ensure this criminal illegal alien is never free again in an American community,” the Acting Assistant Secretary added.
