Summary
A House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing, chaired by Rep. Thomas McClintock, R-Calif., examined several examples of allegedly lax prosecutions by Fairfax County prosecutor Stephen Descano involving illegal immigrants with prior rap sheets. Cato Institute immigration expert David Bier testified that the “way to fix Fairfax” is not to continue the “mass deportation” agenda of President Donald Trump. Bier’s statement drew attention from immigration hawks, including Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who used Bier’s logic to argue for mass deportation. Bier responded, arguing that mass deportation would harm Americans in Fairfax County.
