An illegal alien in Fairfax County, Virginia with a history of arrests, mental illness and apparent ties to MS-13 was arrested and charged with second-degree murder Wednesday – just one day after the illegal sanctuary county chose to release him rather than honor a detainer request by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
On Tuesday, 23 year-old Marvin Morales-Ortez - an illegal alien from El Salvador being held in jail on charges brandishing a gun, assault and causing injury - was released after charges were dropped and the sheriff’s office, led by Stacey Kincaid, refused to honor ICE’s detainer request.
“If Fairfax County would have simply worked to uphold our nation’s laws, then this tragedy may have never happened,” an ICE spokesman said, commenting on the fatal shooting of a man Morales-Ortez lived with, 40-year-old Marvin Ernesto Morales.
"The sanctuary politicians of Fairfax have blood on their hands,” a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said.
