Charges include assault and battery, drug possession, intent to distribute, robbery, larceny, and other crimes.
You have to wonder how many others like him are living in Fairfax County.

@ICEgov
in Washington arrested an illegal Guatemalan alien this week named Mykol Santos-Santos, a documented member of MS-13.
Santos-Santos has an extensive criminal background with more than 15 pages of criminal history in ICE's database. He was arrested 30 times by Fairfax County PD and ICE has lodged 16 immigration detainers against him in the past 3 years.
Fairfax County Adult Detention Center refused every single one.
ICE made the at-large arrest on May 12, which resulted in the injury of one the ICE officers
Here is more about this "Virginia man."
Be careful with your words. Because you see how easily people here let their emotions get the best of them with incomplete information. Possibly misleading information.
What were his underlying charges?
What is Fairfax's policy with working with ICE? Immigration is federal law not local. Local authorities don't have to do anything other than transmit finger prints to the FBI, which in turns lets ICE know if someone is in local custody. Unless ICE has a detainer with a criminal charge that shows probable cause, the locals don't have to hold someone. That's on the Feds to have sufficient staffing that allows them to show up in a timely manner.
Now, maybe Fairfax is going beyond this and actually obstructing the Feds. That would be a legitimate concern. But there is no indication of that from this post.
