Cheryl Minter calls for Virginia prosecutor Steve Descano’s removal after an illegal immigrant with more than 30 prior arrests was charged in her daughter Stephanie’s bus stop killing. The Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia ignored at least 1,670 immigration detainers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2023 and 2025, releasing criminal illegal immigrants back into the community instead of transferring them to federal custody, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report. [snip] “This interim report provides evidence of the ways in which just one local jurisdiction has implemented policies that allow dangerous foreign nationals to reoffend and avoid deportation,” the report, issued under House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chair Tom McClintock, R-Calif., concluded. [snip] The committee said a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases identified more than 100 previously unreported illegal immigrants who benefited from Descano’s prosecutorial decisions. The report said Descano’s office rarely pursued charges against illegal immigrants accused of crimes including driving under the influence, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property and assaulting a law enforcement officer. The committee accused Descano’s office of “de facto” decriminalizing some offenses and said most of the defendants reviewed went on to reoffend, in some cases escalating to violent crimes and murder. The report, titled “Fairfax County, Virginia: The dangerous consequences of sanctuary policies,” also alleges that Descano misled Congress about the scope of his policies. [snip] During testimony before the committee in May, Descano said his policy was “written with legal permanent residents in mind for minor crimes.” But in a September letter, the committee said Descano acknowledged that prosecutors could consider immigration consequences in cases involving illegal immigrants as well. Descano’s campaign website previously stated that when “possible,” his office would “make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences.” He also argued that “if two people commit the same crime, but only one’s punishment includes deportation, that’s a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County.” [snip] The committee detailed additional cases involving defendants accused of child pornography, rape, abduction, firearm offenses, drug possession and assault. In some cases, the report said, defendants were released despite ICE detainers and later arrested again. One case involved Marvin Morales-Ortez, an alleged MS-13 member whose charges were dropped before the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office released him in December 2025. The report said Morales-Ortez allegedly murdered a man in Reston, Virginia, one day later. [snip] Kincaid has also previously criticized the county’s prosecution practices, stating, “It’s shameful the way things have not been prosecuted.” The report highlighted the case of Stephanie Minter, who was fatally stabbed in February. The suspect, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal immigrant with more than 40 prior charges in Fairfax County. The committee said Descano’s office had dropped charges against Jalloh in almost every case and that police warned prosecutors before the killing that “it is not a question of if, but rather when [Jalloh] will maliciously wound — or worse — again.” [snip] The committee said Fairfax County’s policies “threaten public safety and undermine the safe and effective enforcement of federal immigration law.” Descano has rejected the allegations and previously said that “the idea that [his office] favor[s] one group over another is completely wrong.” (*) Full article: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/virginia-sanctuary-county-ignores-1670-detainer-requests-2-years-house-judiciary-committee-finds Post navigation California Lawmaker Allegedly Followed, Tried To Block Car Of Random Man She Thought Was ICE Most wanted in France, antifa mugshot. – CITIZEN FREE PRESS
