Laughable!' Jim Jordan Brawls With Left-Wing Prosecutor Over Alleged Illegal Immigrant Murderer He Released

"Wherever possible, Steve will make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences and If two people commit the same crime, but only one's punishment includes deportation, that's a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County until recently."

"Mr. Descano, why'd you change your website? Jordan asked at Thursday's hearing, repeating the question and rejecting Descano's plea that he be allowed to address what you had said earlier. Well, sir, your statements about we're not-, don't want to prosecute guys is absolutely false. And my policies, insisted Descano."

"She [the sheriff] said the commonwealth's attorney that's you chose not [Marvin Fernando] Morales Ortez on December 16, and they had to release him, they had to do their job because you wouldn't prosecute. What happened on December 17th, Mr. Descanso? Well, sir, let's talk about December 16- began Descano. That's the question. What happened on December 17? This same guy murdered somebody! This guy murdered somebody!"

"Descano continued to argue that there was a difference between his campaign promises and office policies, while Jordan pointed out that Descano changes his website a week after the House committee sent him a letter about testifying."

Jim Jordan confronted Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano during a hearing over immigration-related statements on Descano’s website. Jordan cited language saying charging and plea decisions would limit or avoid immigration consequences and that unequal punishment involving deportation was a perversion of justice. Jordan asked why the website was changed, repeating the question after Descano said the statements were campaign material rather than office policy. Descano insisted his policies were not to avoid prosecution, and he referenced a decision to release Marvin Fernando Morales Ortez on December 16. Jordan pressed for what changed on December 17, when Morales Ortez allegedly murdered someone. Jordan also noted the website change occurred after a House committee letter about testimony.
