Fairfax County, Virginia IGNORED 1,670 ICE detainers over 2 years, undercharged criminal illegal aliens: Judiciary Committee report | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

A new interim House Judiciary Committee report, released Tuesday, says the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia ignored at least 1,670 ICE detainers from 2023 to 2025 and freed criminal illegal aliens instead of handing them over to federal authorities. It also alleges that Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano treated illegal immigrant defendants more leniently than citizens to protect them from consequences regarding immigration. Fairfax County is the 5th richest county in the entire United States.

“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 Judiciary report from the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement revealed. “But Fairfax County and prosecutor Steve Descano are not outliers. They are indicative of a modern, radical, socialist Democrat Party that seeks to erase national borders and place illegal alien criminals ahead of law-abiding American citizens. The policies supported by these Democrats, including sanctuary policies, will have negative and lasting consequences for Americans. The Committee and Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of these sanctuary policies to inform potential legislative reforms to better protect American communities.”
