An illegal immigrant was arrested this week for allegedly attempting to rape a woman in Arlington, Virginia, a sanctuary jurisdiction, after the county’s George Soros-backed chief prosecutor dropped charges in several past cases against the serial offender.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti is now facing questions from critics over why the suspect, a Guatemalan national with a lengthy criminal history, was able to return repeatedly to the streets of Arlington, a northern Virginia suburb near Washington, D.C.
Arlington County officials, however, told the Washington Examiner that the dropped charges, stretching back to 2020, were complicated by procedural hurdles, victim considerations, and other behind-the-scenes developments in the prosecutorial process.
