Two illegal aliens in Fairfax County, Virginia pleaded guilty to murder and could be back out on the street in three years, thanks to a sweetheart deal given them by a progressive prosecutor known for going easy of criminals who illegally enter the U.S.
“The reason why the two men will be serving five years behind bars for murder is that Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office offered them a generous plea deal. And both men took it,” WJLA’s Nick Minock reported Thursday:
“Descano’s Office offered Maldin Anibal Guzman and Wis Alonso Sorto-Portillo a plea deal which included a 25-year sentence. But they will only be required to serve five of those years, including credit for time served. Meaning the men will be out in 2029.”
The two, if convicted via a trial, could have been sentenced to as much as 40 years in prison.
As the sanctuary state’s Commonwealth’s attorney, Descano has made national headlines by going soft on illegal alien criminals, such as in the case of the murder of Stephanie Minter, who was stabbed to death at a bus.
Minter’s suspected killer, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal alien with a long criminal history who was free at the time of the murder because Descano’s office ignored warnings from other law enforcement officials not to release him because he posed a danger to the community.
“Wherever possible, Steve will make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences,” Descano’s website vows.
Descano’s website even declares it “a perversion of justice” if a criminal who’s an illegal alien is deported, but a criminal who’s a U.S. citizen gets to stay in the country:
“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.”

What’s more, Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid is notorious for not honoring any U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers - no matter how heinous the crime is – and frequently releases criminal illegal aliens back onto to the streets without giving any advance notice to ICE.
“Sanctuaries are sanctuaries for criminals,” U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan, who lives in Virginia, told Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom Friday, blaming the state’s new governor, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, for abandoning her campaign promise to support moderate policies:
“Elections have consequences. I live in Virginia. Spanberger took over and she’s move so far to the left she’s not even recognizable anymore.”
Suspects in three of the four murder trials in Fairfax County so far this year are illegal aliens. In the other two cases, one illegal alien is accused of hacking a man to death with a machete and another is charged with beating his three-month old daughter to death.
