Fairfax Police Warned Prosecutor Many Times About Illegal Alien Accused of Killing Woman
“Unfortunately, based on the station’s numerous dealings with him, it is not a question of if, but rather when, he will maliciously wound or worse.”
Nick Minock at WJLA received numerous emails from the Fairfax County Police Department to the Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney, Steve Descano, regarding Abdul Jalloh.
You know, like, why Descano kept dropping charges against Jalloh.
Jalloh, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone, allegedly stabbed to death Stephanie Minter, 41, at a Virginia bus stop.
He entered the U.S. in 2012.
Minock read one email on X (I emphasized the letter):
I heard that police warned the Fairfax County prosecutor, who dropped numerous charges against this man in the past, that he, if he was allowed to be back out into the community, could do something like this [murder].
So I submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request, seeking the communication between the police department and the prosecutor’s office, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney, Steve Descano office, and I just received results of that FOIA back.
And what I have here is an email from a police major in Fairfax County dated November 15 to the Fairfax County Commonwealth attorney’s office. I’ll read some of it to you.
Says “I want to bring Mr. Jalloh’s release to your attention, because Mr. Jalloh is one of the repeat and violent offenders we discussed when we met. I wanted to get your background on why he is out so soon, and ask if his prior suspended sentence of, I believe, five years, was pursued by your office.”
He goes on to say, and pay attention to this,
“Unfortunately, based on the station’s numerous dealings with him, it is not a question of if, but rather when, he will maliciously wound or worse. Again, my role of keeping the public safe prompts me to follow up on his status.”So this email between the police department and Fairfax County Commonwealth attorney Steve Descano’s office happened in November, and the police were warning the prosecutor’s office that if this guy was released back into the community again, something like this could happen, the murder of Stephanie Minter, and it did.
Mr. Jalloh has more than 40 past charges, and almost every case, Descano’s office dropped those charges and released this illegal immigrant, violent offender, back into the community, and they had a warning from the police department.
Fairfax County police repeatedly warned Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office about how dangerous Abdul Jalloh was before Stephanie Minter’s murder.
In November, a police major told Descano’s office, “Jenna, Good morning. I hope things are well. I wanted… https://t.co/ouqkJPgvPD pic.twitter.com/E8bFmNMBuY

Jollah previously faced “rape, malicious wounding, assault, identity theft, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, assault, and pickpocketing” charges.
7News found Jalloh has more than 40 past charges in Fairfax County, ranging from rape to assault, and in almost every case, Descano’s office dropped the charges.
An email of a bond alert from August 2025 from a Fairfax County police employee to Assistant Chief Brooke Wright, which says Jalloh: has had over 100 involvements with FCPD over the years, resulting in multiple charges and arrests, spanning from theft to violent crimes against persons. JALLOH’s offenses began with domestic violence incidents and escalated to assaulting other victims and threats with weapons (knives). He has been involved in multiple stabbing incidents with victims identifying him as the offender in these cases. This year JALLOH has been the offender in a malicious wounding where he stabbed a man in May 2025, in which he received a bond on July 31, 2025— three weeks later, this incident occurred where he assaulted an older male and stomped his head into the ground.
I bet the police department lost its mind when Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger said she would not honor an ICE detainer for Jollah. She told DHS to get a judicial warrant.
*sigh*
ICE does not need a warrant unless a judge finds probable cause that a federal crime was committed.

Fairfax County Democrats ought to unleash their legendary lynching skills and go pay Descano a visit.
Fun Fact: 100% of the people that Democrats lynched were Republicans. About 2/3 were black, 1/3 were white and under 1% were Jewish. What all of the victims had in common was political support for the R Party and political opposition to the Democrat Party.
The above should surprise absolutely no one. What is interesting is that the data was compiled by the NAACP.
That is not only not true but doesn’t even make sense. You made the same mistake in your previous post, misquoting Bill Melugin.
What Melugin actually wrote was that a federal judge can’t sign a warrant without probable cause that a federal crime has been committed, not that ICE only needs one in that case. That is incorrect, but at least it makes sense.
The truth is that ICE can go to a federal judge and say here is probable cause that this person is in the USA illegally (which is not in itself a crime), and we have reason to believe he can be found at this address (e.g. a state prison) and we would like a warrant to enter those premises and arrest him there.
And that’s what Spanberger is telling ICE to do. Which is just virtue signaling on her part, because ICE can easily do it but it would be less work for everyone involved if the prison were simply to consent to ICE entering without a warrant.
ICE, on the other hand, is also playing politics by refusing to do it and instead holding her up for public condemnation, as well as simply lying when it claims “state officials like Spanberger are REQUIRED to honor ICE detainers”. If all ICE wanted was to get this guy out of the USA it would just get the dam warrant, just as it would if this guy were holed up in a private house and the owner were to refuse it entry.
If ICE does it for o e, demands will be made that it be done for all criminal illegals. No, honor the damn ICE detainers and save lives.
They DO ALREADY have to do it for all criminal aliens, if they want to make the arrest on private property without the owner’s consent. They can’t forcibly invade private property without a warrant. The dispute is only about whether state and local governments ought to do the federal government a favor by holding a person for it after the person’s sentence is over or is otherwise supposed to be released, and allowing its agents on to their property to make the arrest.
There is no question that they don’t have to do this, and many local governments have complained that when they were honoring detainers ICE would take its own sweet time to arrive and take the guy off their hands, and in the meantime they’d be holding him at their own expense and without any legal justification.
ICE has made nearly a million arrests in the past year without a judicial warrant.
That includes cases involving forcible entry into a private home, which they can do with an administrative warrant. They have been doing this daily, nationwide, on a massive scale.
They use:
Form I-200 warrants authorize ICE to arrest people suspected of violating immigration law.
Form I-205 warrants authorize ICE to remove aliens with final orders of removal from the United States.
Both are ADMINISTRATIVE warrants. These are NOT issued by Article III Federal Judges.
Basically, if all they intend to do is deport the criminal then the entire process is Administrative rather than Criminal. Most of the process is authorized under the Administrative Procedures Act. And, no, in no case do they need to convince an Article III Federal Judge that they have “probable cause”. From ICE”s website, “All aliens who violate U.S. immigration law are subject to arrest and detention, regardless of their criminal histories.” They don’t need “probable cause” at all, merely “reasonable suspicion” to make a stop (much like your local police), demand ID, and determine immigration status.
If they aren’t forcibly entering private property, then they don’t even need the administrative warrants noted above. For the criminal in this particular case, knowing in advance who he is and that he is here illegally, they could just arrest him on the street. Like all other illegals (thanks to the actual statute and this past year’s ruling in federal appellate court) there would be no bond. Illegals are no longer entitled to bond. Once arrested, they are detained until deported now.
If, on the other hand, they intend to criminally prosecute the illegal alien in a federal court, then the usual formalities apply. Trump made this mistake at the start of his first term. He wanted a zero tolerance policy on actual prosecutions for illegal entry. Fines and deportations for first offenders, but jail time for repeat offenders (with increasing sentences per repeat offense). This failed immediately because of the vast amount of time, and expense, required to prosecute in federal court all of the hundreds of thousands of offenders.
That’s why, this time, they are simply deporting everyone as fast as possible. Not just including repeat offenders of illegal entry, but also including illegals that have committed serious violent crimes. Very rarely are they prosecuting any of them for anything. They are just deporting them as fast as they possibly can.
Anything to stay out of federal court entirely.
Only in public areas, or on property where the owner has allowed them in.
No, they can NOT, and if they do they are criminals. The constitution requires a warrant, so no statute can say otherwise. They have been doing this daily, nationwide, on a massive scale. No, they haven’t been forcibly entering private property.
Yes, they do; the “warrant” is their order to arrest the person! How else can they know whom to arrest?
An administrative “warrant” is not a warrant within the meaning of the constitution, just as an administrative “judge” is not a judge. It’s simply a decision by the administration. An instruction from one administration employee to another. “We, the administration acting on behalf of the president, have decided we want this person arrested; go and do it.” Obviously it can only be exercised where agents have a right to be, which is public places, and private places with the owner’s permission.
They can’t stay out entirely, since once the administration has definitely decided to deport someone (which is all a “final deportation order” is) he is entitled to one habeas motion in a federal appeals court.
Aaradin, don’t you remember the enormous fuss about a month ago, when someone leaked a purported “memo” that ICE had supposedly circulated to its agents, advising them that they could enter private property with a mere administrative “warrant”?
The Democrats in the news industry made a whole meal of this so-called “memo”, and had it been genuine they would have been right to do so. The administration quickly disavowed it and announced that it was not genuine and did not reflect the administration’s position, because it knows very well that to enter private property it needs a real warrant, issued by a real judge, upon probable cause.
because it knows very well that to enter private property it needs a real warrant, issued by a real judge, upon probable cause.
More Leftist Democrat slander.
It is not a ‘crime’ to be in the US illegally. If it was then each alien would have to get a Miranda warning and a public defender. That would be a mess.
The truth is that a federal judge can issue a warrant for ICE to arrest someone , possibly on someone else’s property, for no crime?
That makes sense to you?
No wonder the SCOTUS just told you to shut your lying mouth
ICE usually doesn’t ask federal charges of illegal entry. Because then removal would be much slower.
At this point it should be patently obvious that the Communists love when illegals kill our citizens. No one can convince me otherwise
Melanin and an interpreter is all you need to run roughshod over this feminized society. I’m not sorry for saying so.
Solution: rope, tree and gravity. It’s worked for thousands of years.
Criminals are the street thugs causing crimes for the Marxist revolution. They are fighting on the hill of Illegals and Criminals let free.
Fairfax County used to be pretty conservative. Then it was overrun by federal bureaucrats and retirees, as well as employees of federally funded contractors and lurched very far left. The voters of Fairfax County elected this prosecutor so they have no one to blame but themselves.
the blk matriarchy spawns another one
no wonder fjb sought to put them in charge of america
We should organize elderly people with terminal illnesses to performance public service by killing evil criminals like this guy.
