How does something like this happen? The county needs to be held accountable. From WJLA:
"ICE arrested a Bolivian national convicted of sex crimes against a Virginia child and the Fairfax County Sheriff refused to honor three immigration detainers and released the convicted sex offender back into the community, 7News learned...ERO adds that in July, a Fairfax County judge sentenced Veizaga-Vargas to six months in jail for sexual assault of a child, and then the court suspended all six months of the sentence and the Fairfax County Sheriff refused to honor an immigration detainer." https://wjla.com/news/local/virginia-crime-illegal-immigrants-arrests-bolivian-man-convicted-of-child-sex-crimes-fairfax-county-virginia-sheriff-stacey-kincaid-refused-detainers-ero-enforcement-removal-operations-jose-fabricio-veizaga-vargas# |
| We’ve long went past the point that softness on crime is a civil rights violation |
It's called that Fairfax county is a sanctuary county and they do not honor requests from ICE. So they chose to put the community at risk to avoid offending social justice warriors. |

Seems to be a bit of a he said-he said situation. FC says they never received retainers for the guy. ICE said they said they sent the retainers but never followed up with a judicial warrant (which is something one would be able to find in the public record).
So, my question is why ICE is either lying or left the job half done? |
Regardless, heads should roll since they left a potentially dangerous criminal at large. I don't care that he's an immigrant, I'm an immigrant myself (legal, on a visa, paying taxes). But that sort of person does not deserve to be let out. |
Nope nothing to do with that. FC cops wanted to make a point and refused to do their jobs OR ICE massively f#cked up by not sending in the paperwork. Either ways heads need to roll, and none of this paid leave BS. |
| Six months for sexual assault of a minor? |
Probably a olea deal with a child that didn’t want to testify, maybe a family member. Prosecutor probably thought that was enough to get him deported so would be sufficient. I think they often plea these down to nothing so they don’t have to put a kid in the stand but can still get the guy on the registry. |

This is literally the whole point of being a sanctuary city. So congratulations, the system worked as you voted. |

During the Obama administration they funded ICE staff in county offices so this type of thing would not happen.
They don’t “refuse to honor” the detainer. Usually what happens is the perp has a release date, they tell ICE but ICE is busy and it’s against the law to hold the released prisoner until ICE gets their sh!t together. Local counties use to have dedicated ICE employees just waiting for criminals to be released so there was a clean handoff. This stopped under Trump and has not been reinstated. |
That is not a situation. FC does not need a warrant to honor a retainer request, there are plenty of jurisdictions that honor request from ICE without a warrrant. ICE did not mess anything up, FC policies let sex offenders that should be deported go free. |
All ICE has to do is be there upon release and arrest them. They know where they are and when they are released. The county even give 48 hours notice. They have two whole days to get there. |

It was fixed by Obama but all his accomplishments no matter how good were canceled under Trump. |
