DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has confirmed that illegal aliens are responsible for approximately 50% of all murders in the affluent, and deep blue, Northern Virginia suburb of Fairfax County, just outside Washington, D.C.

Mullin made the revelation during a Thursday Fox News interview while on the ground with ICE agents in Virginia.

The DHS Secretary was accompanying ICE in an early-morning operation in Manassas that resulted in the arrest of a repeat criminal illegal alien who had been deported multiple times but still managed to sneak back into the country.

“Just use Fairfax, Virginia, for example. Roughly 50% of the murders in Fairfax, Virginia… the perps are illegal, shouldn’t even be in the country to begin with. That’s just in Fairfax. You think about what’s happening in Virginia. When you make Virginia a sanctuary city, you encourage more illegal activities,” Mullin stated.
