Soros DA Ignores ICE Detainer, Releases El Salvadorian Illegal Who Allegedly Commits Murder the Next Day
Marvin Morales-Ortez, 23, an illegal from El Salvador, was released from custody after the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, led by Soros-backed Attorney Steve Descano, dropped a case against him for charges of allegedly brandishing a gun and assaulting and injuring someone.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin notes he was released back onto the streets after an ICE detainer was ignored.
The next day, it is alleged he is responsible for the murder of a man found dead in a home in Reston, Va., according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
Before the latest incident, Morales-Ortez already had a lengthy criminal record.
WJLA News reports, “court records indicate that since 2020, Morales-Ortez had been charged with at least seven crimes in Fairfax County.”
Sean Kennedy with Virginians For Safe Communities, who has been highly critical of Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, said Morales-Ortez never should have been out of jail and able to allegedly commit a homicide on Wednesday.
“This is not an outlier. This is the rule of thumb for this office,” Kennedy said. “This individual was likely to commit more crimes. They knew it, and they didn’t care.”
Fairfax County Police shared on X, “The Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) is aware Marvin Fernando Morales-Ortez was released by a General District Court order from the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center (ADC) yesterday. ”
“After his release, a Community Services Board (CSB) clinician obtained an Emergency Custody Order (ECO) for Morales-Ortez. An ECO is valid for eight after issuance by a magistrate.”
