Summary
Steve Descano, a Soros-backed prosecutor in Fairfax County, Virginia, is facing scrutiny for dismissing a Justice Department probe into allegations that he gave favorable deals to illegal immigrants. The probe was launched after a request from the Victim Rights Reform Council on behalf of Cheryl Minter, whose daughter was fatally stabbed by an illegal immigrant. Descano’s office has been accused of shielding illegal immigrants from consequences, and the DOJ investigation will examine whether his office violated federal law. Descano is set to testify before Congress on the issue.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Descano’s response to the DOJ investigation was to call it a “partisan attack” by the Trump administration. His spokeswoman, Laura Birnbaum, claimed that the investigation distorts the office’s policy, which has been in place for over five years. The investigation was initiated after a request from Cheryl Minter, whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant. The Victim Rights Reform Council’s Jennifer Harrison responded to Descano’s claim, stating that the investigation was not a partisan attack, but rather a response to the victim’s loved one’s request. The scene is set for a familiar confrontation between Descano and his critics.
