Soros-Funded Prosecutor Offers Illegal Immigrants Charged with Serious Crimes Sweetheart Deals

Federal authorities are finally investigating a soft-on-crime county prosecutor—backed by leftwing billionaire George Soros—for offering violent illegal immigrant criminals preferential treatment to help them avoid deportation. His name is Steve Descano, the Democratic prosecutor of Fairfax County, Virginia’s largest, and one of dozens of “social justice” district attorneys that received tens of millions of dollars in the past decade from Soros, who has bankrolled and helped place like-minded progressives in the nation’s biggest jurisdictions. Not surprisingly, crime has exploded in many of those municipalities because rogue, Soros-funded attorneys supposedly elected to uphold public safety and oversee the prosecution of crimes instead have agendas—mainly racial justice—that are fueling a massive crime wave, according to a senate report. “Soros prosecutors have overseen massive crime waves in their communities,” the report confirms, adding that the lawyers with campaigns sponsored by Soros have failed their constituents.

Thanks to the Hungarian philanthropist’s enormous financial support and his well-funded progressive infrastructure groups the district attorneys oversee prosecutions in half of the nation’s 50 most populous municipalities, according to an in-depth analysis conducted by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), a Virginia nonprofit dedicated to supporting and defending the law enforcement profession. This spans from Seattle, Washington to Orlando Florida, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, California. Soros, who has also invested huge sums to advance a radical globalist agenda in every corner of the world under the cloak of supporting democratically elected governments, strengthening the rule of law, and promoting fairness in political, legal, and economic systems has also helped place handpicked leftist prosecutors in dozens of states ranging from wealthy suburbs surrounding the nation’s capital to rural farming communities in the Midwest.

Among the rogue prosecutors is Fairfax County’s Descano, who received over $625,000 in campaign funding from Soros’ Justice and Public Safety Political Action Committee (PAC) and was first elected in 2019 then reelected four years later. As soon as he won Descano released a list of crimes his office would no longer prosecute, including cases involving assault and battery, prostitution, shoplifting, resisting arrest, reckless driving, possession of certain drugs and a multitude of other offenses. His outrageous policies have been detrimental, with homicides jumping 40% in his first year as Fairfax County attorney, forcible sex offenses rising nearly 26% and kidnappings increasing 8.5%. Descano also protects illegal immigrant criminals with sanctuary policies that compromise public safety. This includes a recent tragedy in which an illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone with a lengthy criminal record stabbed a woman to death at a bus stop. The illegal alien, Abdul Jalloh, was granted unsupervised release following a probation violation instead of being arrested despite a criminal history that includes more than 30 arrests for charges of rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, and larceny.

This month the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that Descano’s destructive sanctuary policies are under investigation. The agency has launched an official probe into his plea bargaining, charging decisions and sentencing policies, which reportedly discriminate against U.S. citizens by offering preferential treatment only to illegal alien criminal defendants. “This investigation will uncover whether this prosecutor is putting the community at risk in offering sweetheart deals to illegal immigrants charged with serious crimes,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, who heads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. In a notice to Descano last week Assistant AG Dhillon writes that the agency’s investigation will determine whether the Office of the Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney (OFCA) that he heads has violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Safe Streets Act, both of which prohibit recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating based upon race, color, or national origin. “Our investigation is based on information that on or about December 15, 2020, OFCA adopted the Commonwealth’s Attorney Plea Bargaining, Charging Decisions, and Sentencing Policy,” the notice reads. “That policy states in relevant part “ACAs [ Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorneys] shall consider immigration consequences where possible” and that “prosecutors shall consider … the collateral immigration consequences of the specific crime(s) the defendant is charged with[.]”
