The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Fairfax County Attorney General Steve Descano for his insane prosecutorial policies:
The department is examining whether Descano’s office violated federal law by weighing "immigration consequences" in charging decisions and plea deals, which could amount to unequal treatment of defendants, DOJ Civil Rights Division head Harmeet Dhillon said in a letter first obtained by Fox News Digital.
"I have authorized a full investigation to determine whether the [Office of the Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney] has engaged in unlawful discrimination in violation of Title VI and the Safe Streets Act," Dhillon wrote to Descano, noting that both "prohibit recipients of Federal financial assistance from discriminating based upon race, color, or national origin."
Dhillon said the investigation was based on a 2020 Fairfax policy about prosecutorial decisions that instructs prosecutors to weigh what could happen to immigrants charged or convicted of crimes, including consequences such as deportation.
Basically Descano has allowed criminal illegals back on the streets, which has had horrible consequences for citizens. Here's just one recent example:
Steve Descano literally let my friend's murderer walk on an obvious bogus insanity plea...because he loves criminals.

His murderer had a manifesto. A kill list. A written plan.
He was not insane!
But Descano took that Soro money and let him walk. https://t.co/N4Ps4Pocw9 pic.twitter.com/jWwyyG5jxE
Descano's response to the DOJ probe is as infuriating as you'd expect:
Today, I received notice of a Department of Justice investigation into my office regarding one of our policies. My policies are fair, legal, and reflect the values of my community.

The "values of my community"?
You let a rapist walk. https://t.co/DbUvWFFhHF

You release child rapists like it's your job. https://t.co/MxnW6uFILh

This headline was literally one day ago.

And there are at least a dozen others like it.
What kind of “community” has the “values” of releasing child rapists? https://t.co/0PQG7XTakt pic.twitter.com/4ispnClDPf
The fact that Descano can even refer to that as a "value" makes it all the more disgusting.
Letting illegal alien rapists walk is not fair nor legal, and I can assure you that it does NOT reflect Virginians' values, you disgrace.

There is some ratio here!

He earned that ratio, and it's well past time for "progressive" DA's whose policies get people hurt or killed to be held accountable.
