SACRAMENTO SICKO: ICE Asks California Sanctuary Politicians to Not Release Illegal Alien Charged with Sexually Assaulting a 6-Year-Old at a Daycare

This illegal alien was released into the country by the Biden Administration WASHINGTON – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer asking sanctuary politicians in California to not release from jail an illegal alien who has been charged with sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl at a daycare in Sacramento. According to local reporting, the incident occurred in July 2025 at a daycare where Gokhan Bagci, a criminal illegal alien from Turkey, was working. The victim’s mother reported that Bagci lured the girl into a closet pretending to play hide-and-seek, where he sexually assaulted her. He then allegedly brought the girl into a bathroom and raped her that same day. Bagci was arrested on August 22, 2025 by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, and ICE lodged a detainer for him the same day. He has been charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age. “This criminal illegal alien is accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl at the daycare where he worked,” said Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “He now faces charges of lewd and lascivious acts with a child. We are calling on Governor Gavin Newsom and his fellow sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this sicko from jail and to cooperate with ICE law enforcement.” Bagci first illegally entered the United States by crossing the southern border on November 21, 2023. Although he was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Biden Administration RELEASED him into the country. On December 12, 2023, he flew to Istanbul, Turkey, and later illegally re-entered the country by crossing the southern border again on September 17, 2024. Under Governor Newsom, California has become a hotbed of illegal alien crime. Some of the recent illegal alien crimes in the sanctuary state include: In May, ICE lodged a detainer for Joaquin Escoto Vazquez, an illegal alien from Mexico, after his arrest for fatally stabbing two women and a baby in Modesto, California. In May, ICE lodged a detainer for Manvir Singh, an illegal alien from India, after he was arrested for causing a semi-truck crash that killed two people near Lodi, California.

He had twice been arrested in California for domestic violence – in Santa Ana in 2024, and then in Laguna Niguel in 2025 – but despite ICE lodging detainers against him both times, California sanctuary politicians released him from jail and back into the community. In January, ICE lodged detainers for Gunpreet Singh and Jasveer Singh, criminal illegal aliens from India, after they had been arrested for smuggling more than 300 pounds of cocaine in a semi-truck in Putnam County, Indiana. Governor Newsom’s DMV had given both men CDLs.
