For quite a while now we have been reporting on the prosecuting attorney in Virginia's Fairfax County, Steve Descano.
Descano is a Soros-backed commonwealth's attorney who has set about to gamely turn his county into a hellish world of far-left chaos and danger. Case in point: His office permitted a male registered sex offender to gain access to female locker rooms and refused to prosecute him for being near children in violation of the law.

He was also warned about the potential for an illegal immigrant to grievously harm someone in the community — a warning his office ignored, with predictable results.

His office also happily released an illegal immigrant accused of sexually groping multiple underage girls.

So you can kind of understand why folks in Congress might want to haul this guy into D.C. and ask him some questions. And, as local news reports, brother did they ever:
Republican federal lawmakers on Thursday delivered a blistering critique of Fairfax County's top legal officials, accusing Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid of "sacrificing victims for ideology" by maintaining policies they claim protect undocumented criminals at the expense of public safety. ...
"Fairfax County has become an epicenter of a true perversion of justice," said Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif. "Policies are crazy, dangerous, wanton, and cruel when criminals are released back on the streets instead of making a simple phone call to ICE."
The videos of the hearing are, to put it mildly, incredible.
Just watch Descano squirm as his ruinous policies are put on full display:

Jordan: [I]f you're proud of your policies, why did you change your website?
Descano: Because that's not my policy. As I told you, sir, that is a campaign statement that I made before I was Commonwealth Secretary.
You gotta love this guy stammering that his "campaign statements" don't actually mean anything once he's in office!
(And yes, he absolutely made those claims during his campaign:)

Here, meanwhile, is an exchange between Descano and North Carolina Rep. Brad Knott. The congressman is referring to an incident in 2023 in which illegal immigrant Hyrum Baquedano-Rodriguez allegedly entered a home in Fairfax County and attempted to kidnap a young girl.
Baquedano-Rodriguez had been tried and convicted on multiple other crimes, but Descano's office ultimately dropped the attempted abduction and rape charges against the illegal immigrant. Here's what Knott had to say about that:

Knott: As the father of 2 young girls, one of which is five, that is as shameufl as anything I have ever seen.
Descano: I have a daughter too! Don't talk to me that I don't care about people in my community.
Knott: You clearly don't. You dismissed the case, and it's shameful. You're a coward.
Perhaps the most brutal takedown came from rising GOP star Rep. Brandon Gill:

Gill: Do you know who Ander Jose Cortez-Mendez is? Are you familiar with that case?
Descano: Yes, sir.
Gill: This is a Guatemalan illegal alien who was arrested in March of 2024. He was initially charged with carnal knowledge of a 13 to 14-year-old. Just for those of us who aren't lawyers, can you describe just very briefly what does carnal knowledge of a 13 to 14-year-old mean in this context?
Descano: Well, sir, generally, a charge like that would typically refer to underage sex.
Gill: Okay, so he raped an underage person, an illegal alien who raped an underage American. Your office reduced those charges to a misdemeanor charge of consensual sex with a child 15 years and older. You offered him a 90-day suspended jail sentence. Is that correct?
Descano: Sir, based on the evidence that we have in the case...
Gill: So it is correct.
Descano: But it's not related to the policy, sir.
Gill: So that is correct.

Let's hope lawmakers will see to it that Virginia gets some relief from radical wokies like this.
