From the Washington Examiner: An illegal immigrant in Virginia has been arrested on charges of homicide just a day after he was let out of jail on a separate offense by a progressive district attorney whose campaign was funded by George Soros.
Steve Descano, prosecutor for Fairfax County, Virginia, dropped all charges against a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador with a criminal history, allowing the suspect to go free into the community, only to be picked up by police on a suspected murder charge a day later, local media outlet WJLA reported.
The Fairfax County Police Department announced Wednesday afternoon that officers had arrested Marvin Morales-Ortez as the suspect in a fatal shooting that occurred outside a home in Reston earlier in the day.
Morales-Ortez had a long list of felony arrests in the county, but was released from jail on Tuesday after Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office dropped the charges for brandishing a firearm and assaulting and injuring someone.
The report explains that Descano’s 2019 campaign for his current job was bankrolled by the Justice and Public Safety PAC, whose sole funder is liberal billionaire George Soros.
Morales-Ortez has a lengthy criminal record, including:
- Assault and battery in 2020;
- Another assault and battery charge in 2023, along with disorderly conduct
- Petit larceny in 2024
- Pointing or brandishing a gun, assaulting, and injuring a victim in September 2025. He was only convicted of the theft.
- First-degree murder in 2021… the charges were later dropped
