50% of murders in Virginia county committed by illegals

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has confirmed that illegal aliens are responsible for approximately 50% of all murders in the affluent, and deep blue, Northern Virginia suburb of Fairfax County, just outside Washington, D.C.

“Just use Fairfax, Virginia, for example. Roughly 50% of the murders in Fairfax, Virginia… the perps are illegal, shouldn’t even be in the country to begin with. That’s just in Fairfax. You think about what’s happening in Virginia. When you make Virginia a sanctuary city, you encourage more illegal activities,” Mullin stated.

Mullin directly blamed sanctuary-style policies pushed by Virginia Democrats, including Governor Abigail Spanberger, for turning the state into a magnet for criminal illegal aliens.

“Well, unfortunately, we’re not working with [Spanberger] at all. She’s criminalized us to some degree. She went out there, she’s warned all law enforcement not to work with us,” Mullin told Fox News.

“This individual right here that we just arrested, this is his third time being deported. He self-deported once; he was deported again. He’s snuck back across; he’s been living here in this country again, with a history of criminal activity. This shouldn’t be happening in our streets, in our neighborhood,” he added.

There has been a string of high-profile murders in Fairfax County involving illegal immigrants, including the February stabbing death of Stephanie Minter at a bus stop.

The suspect in that case, Abdul Jalloh, a Sierra Leone national, had more than two dozen prior charges, many of which were dropped under local policies that limit cooperation with ICE.

Fairfax County has long been criticized for its lenient approach to immigration enforcement.
