Really, there should be zero illegal aliens in our nation’s capital to start with, but, Democrats put illegals ahead of US citizens
ICE quietly arrests jaw dropping number of illegal immigrants in massive DC area operation
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) quietly arrested more than 1,000 illegal immigrants in the Washington, D.C., region in what federal sources said was one of the agency’s most successful operations to date.
Multiple ICE sources told Fox News that the agency arrested 1,328 illegal immigrants over 14 days in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. The arrests took place in Virginia and Maryland, both of which have sanctuary-type policies in place.
Of those arrested, almost 400 illegal immigrants had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including a Salvadoran national wanted in Richmond, Virginia, on a murder warrant. Other crimes included rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, DUI, robbery and attempted murder.
Additionally, ICE officers arrested members of the foreign terrorist organizations MS-13 and Tren de Aragua and the 18th Street Gang.
Yes, Democrats will attempt to protect even those illegals. Are all of them hardened criminals? No. But all are unlawfully present in the U.S.
Fairfax prosecutor accused of stonewalling Congressional illegal immigration investigation
In a letter obtained by 7News, Republican Congressmen Jim Jordan and Tom McClintock of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee explained that Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano is withholding information requested by the committee.
Right now, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee is investigating Descano for his alleged preferential treatment toward illegal immigrant defendants and criminals.
7News has covered several cases where Descano’s office has dropped charges or given lenient plea deals to illegal immigrant criminals
For instance, 7News covered how Descano’s office dropped almost every charge that came across their desk involving illegal immigrant Abdul Jalloh, allowing him to walk free despite police warnings. In February 2026, Jalloh was accused of murdering single mother Stephanie Minter at a bus stop.
In a separate case, two illegal immigrant men pleaded guilty to murdering a man in Fairfax County in 2024. They faced up to 40 years in prison. But they are now set to serve only five years behind bars. The reason why the two men will be serving five years behind bars for murder is that Descano’s office offered them a generous plea deal. And both men took it.
Really, the DOJ needs to just charge him with violations of US Code 8/1325.
