Democrats’ Two-Tiered Justice System for Illegal Immigrants

Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano undercharged yet another violent illegal immigrant this week, ensuring that yet another danger to the community will be released onto an unsuspecting public to harm again. Far from being a one-time mistake, undercharging illegal immigrants is the stated policy of Descano’s office and part of a wider Democratic Party campaign to create sanctuaries for illegal immigration.

Israel Flores Ortiz, an 18-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was convicted this week on nine counts of assault and battery after at least a dozen students at Fairfax High School, some as young as 13, accused him of grabbing them between their legs. “It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab,” one mother told local news. “It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months.”

Ortiz should have been charged with sexual battery, which would have forced him to register as a sex offender. That would have alerted local communities to his presence when Democrats inevitably let him out of jail early, and also would have alerted federal authorities to his location so he could be deported. But Descano deliberately charged Ortiz with a lesser crime so he could evade federal immigration authorities, a decision that has become common in Fairfax County and has gotten people killed.

In December, Descano chose not to prosecute Marvin Morales-Ortez, another illegal immigrant from El Salvador, after he was arrested for brandishing a gun and assaulting and injuring someone. Morales-Ortez had seven prior arrests, ranging from petty larceny to assault to first-degree murder, and Descano had secured one theft conviction, but Morales-Ortez was sentenced to just a fine, which he did not pay. After being released by Descano following the recent assault arrest, Morales-Ortez went on to murder a Reston resident that day.

More recently, Descano struck a deal with two more illegal immigrants, sentencing them to just five years in prison for malicious wounding after they murdered an Oakton man.
