Savannah Hernandez reports from in front of the Al Hasan Islamic Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The center has drawn national attention after issuing a letter of community support for a Somali immigrant who sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl. In 2024, the perpetrator was charged after abducting a 12-year-old from her backyard, forcing her into his vehicle, and sexually assaulting her. He has since been convicted of first-degree criminal sexual assault. Following his conviction, his family members sent letters to the judge urging consideration of his character in sentencing. One letter came from the Al Hasan Islamic Center and was signed by their executive director. The letter stated that the perpetrator “had to face cultural differences and the challenges of taking on a new culture.” The center framed him as a family-oriented man who “sends his money oftentimes back to his family members in Somalia.” The judge imposed the lightest sentencing possible: eight years in jail for this crime. He was originally sentenced to twelve years, but four years will be served out of jail and on probation. The article notes that the perpetrator has been in the United States since 2006, meaning he has been in the country for nineteen years. He was born in Somalia. The report emphasizes the discussion of cultural differences in relation to this case, as it relates to the Somali community in Minnesota. Savannah Hernandez uses this incident to illustrate ongoing stories and cultural impact surrounding the Somali community in Minnesota, as it relates to the mosque and its public stance.

Fermisha Rose learned this week that the suspect was not a U.S. citizen and now believes justice means deportation. She says her daughter, who was 13 when she met 29-year-old Jordan Castillo Chavez, was communicating with him online; Rose found out by checking her daughter’s phone. She recalls seeing a message from Castillo Chavez and photos and messages that indicated he was coming to pick up her daughter, and she immediately dropped and fainted, thinking, “This is not happening right now.” In March, Pineville police charged Castillo Chavez with indecent liberties and other sex-related charges. He has since bonded out. This week, Customs and Border Protection named Castillo Chavez of Costa Rica as “one of the worst of the worst criminal legal aliens,” blaming his release on a failed ICE detainer. When asked for a response, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office said ICE had requested advance notification of his release but did not issue an ICE detainer. The sheriff’s office also said they did not notify ICE when Castillo Chavez bonded out because they weren’t legally required to. Rose says her own father committed a crime in the United States and was deported back to his country years ago, so she understands the impact and believes Castillo Chavez deserves deportation as well. “We need justice. He needs to go, and he needs to enforce it,” she says.

Two teenage girls accused Jesse Mack Butler of serious crimes, and the state could have charged him with more severe offenses, including attempted murder, but the case proceeded with the charges ultimately pursued. Details of what Butler did: - A girl identified as LS (16 at the time) dated Butler for about three months starting in January. She said Butler repeatedly raped and attempted to rape her and strangled her if she refused. She needed neck surgery from the strangulation, and her doctor said she would have died if the strangulation lasted another 30 seconds. She said she gave in after he threatened to kill her and her family. - A separate affidavit describes a relationship in March with another 16-year-old girl identified as KS, lasting six months. KS said Butler was aggressive and violent and that she went along with unwanted sex to avoid further harm. She said Butler strangled her when she refused, and he recorded himself strangling her until she passed out. Police later found that video on Butler’s phone. Legal progression: - Butler pleaded not guilty to all charges initially. For reasons not explained in the report, the DA’s office struck a deal to change his status from adult to youthful offender. - In July, a judge signed off on the youthful offender designation, and in August Butler changed his plea to no contest, meaning he acknowledged there was evidence to convict him. - There were ten counts initially; by August, there was one additional count for violating a protective order, bringing the total to 11 counts. Sentencing and sentencing plan: - On the same day that the 11th count was added, Butler was sentenced to 78 years in prison. - As a youthful offender, he was entitled to a rehabilitation plan, drafted by the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs and presented to the court. The plan requires daily check-ins, weekly counseling, a curfew, no social media, and 150 hours of community service. - The plan is to stay in effect until Butler turns 19, which is less than a year from the time described in the report. Overall arc: - The case involved graphic and violent abuse of two teenage girls, including repeated rape and strangulation, with one girl recording a strangling incident on video. - Despite the severity of the crimes and the length of the sentence, the youthful offender designation leads to a rehabilitation-focused plan with supervised restrictions and community service lasting until Butler’s 19th birthday.

Fermisha Rose learned this week that the suspect is not a U.S. citizen, and she now believes justice means deportation. Her daughter's case is central: Rose says her daughter, who was 13 at the time, met a man who was 29, Jordan Castillo Chavez. Rose discovered details by looking through her daughter's phone and seeing messages and photos indicating someone was coming to pick up her daughter. She recalls, “There were photos.
