The man arrested by police with a blowtorch near the Kenneth Fire in West Hills, California, has been identified as Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva, an illegal immigrant from Mexico. He is currently in custody on a probation violation and has not been charged with arson. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to place a detainer request on him with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department; however, they do not expect it to be honored due to California's sanctuary state law.
