Prosecutor Frees Violent Illegal Who Kills Mother

Clear Facts
- Fairfax County prosecutor Steve Descano knew illegal immigrant Abdul Jalloh’s violent history but released him.
- Jalloh murdered 41-year-old Stephanie Minter with multiple stab wounds at a Hybla Valley bus stop on Feb. 23.
- Jalloh entered U.S. illegally in 2012, arrested over 30 times, encountered police 178 times including stabbings, elderly assault, and rape.
- Police Major Jeff Mauro warned Descano’s deputy Jenna Sands about Jalloh’s escalating violence.
- Sands cited unlocatable victims as reason not to prosecute despite police requests.
- DHS urges Gov. Abigail Spanberger to notify ICE before releasing criminals; she terminates 287(g) agreements instead.
Fairfax County’s soft-on-crime policies endangered Americans by freeing a known violent illegal immigrant.
Repeated police pleas fell on deaf ears, leading to innocent mother Stephanie Minter’s brutal stabbing death.
“Mr. Jalloh is one of the repeat (and violent) felony offenders I expressed concern about when we met,” Mauro wrote in the email.
“He has an extensive criminal history—he has stabbed multiple people, sexually assaulted at least one woman, and committed numerous other criminal offenses.”
“Furthermore, his behavior appears to be escalating and becoming more violent and explosive.”
Mauro added he was “concerned that it is not a question of if, but rather when he will maliciously wound (or worse) again.”
Sands told NBC Washington, “In multiple cases, we were unable to move forward with prosecution because victims could not be located or contacted, despite considerable effort from our police department to bring them to court.”
DHS’s Lauren Bis stated, “We are calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this murderer and violent career criminal from their jail without notifying ICE.”
Sanctuary Democrat leaders prioritize criminals over citizens, fueling tragedy across America.
Demand prosecutors and governors enforce immigration law to protect families.
