Cops in Fairfax County, Virginia, repeatedly warned their commonwealth’s attorney not to release the dangerous illegal alien who is accused of stabbing an American to death, and whom far-left Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger vowed not to turn over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upon completion of his prison sentence.
The warnings, ABC affiliate WJLA reported, came in multiple emails to Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, who repeatedly refused to prosecute Abdul Jalloh, later charged with murdering Stephanie Minter at a bus stop. A report in the Washington Examiner fingered Descano as a Soros prosecutor whose main job is keeping murderers and other dangerous criminals out of prison.
Early reports said Jalloh was arrested 30 times, but WJLA now reports a figure of more than 40.
Three Emails
WJLA’s Nick Minock disclosed the emails after procuring them in a Freedom of Information Act request.
A major with the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) warned Descano’s deputy prosecutor, Jenna Sands, about Jalloh. “I wanted 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,” the cop wrote:
I wanted to get your background on why he is out so soon and ask if his prior suspended sentence (of I believe 5 years) was pursued by your office? Unfortunately, based on [Mt. Vernon District] 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.
Yet another email was a bond alert from August from a “police employee” to Brooke Wright, the assistant police chief for investigations, the station continued. The warning said 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.”
Continued the email:
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.
That email included a list of Jalloh’s crimes, 13 of which were nolle prossed, meaning not prosecuted. Many of those were violent crimes, including rape and assault.
An email bond alert from May went to four of Descano’s underlings, including Sands. “The suspect has a history of stabbing community members and was on probation during the most recent assault,” the email said:
For those reasons and the reasons outlined in the document, we ask that you argue he continues to be held at the [Adult Detention Center].
That email also detailed Jalloh’s crimes, noting that he “has a long history of stabbing community members and is currently on probation for doing that very thing. He has shown a blatant disregard for human life and is a danger to the community.”
Plus, a police report from November 2025 said Jalloh has “an extensive violent criminal history,” and that “his pattern of behavior shows escalating violence towards the community and community members. He has been involved in multiple malicious woundings where he has stabbed multiple people.”
Why on the Street?
NBC4 in Washington, D.C., explained why Jalloh was on the street.
In February 2023, he was convicted of felony malicious wounding and sentenced to two years in prison, with five years suspended.
“But Jalloh wasn’t out of jail long before he was arrested again two times, and that triggered a probation violation, bringing him back to court and the possibility he could be put back in jail,” the station reported:
But a court document shows the prosecutor and defense attorney reached an agreement. Jalloh was found in violation of probation, but instead of prosecutors asking that his suspended prison time be imposed, it was just resuspended, and his probation was ended — meaning no one was keeping watch any longer.
The commonwealth’s attorney’s spokeswoman told News4 that under court guidelines, he could have only served six more months, and he’d already been in jail 100 days.
The office previously said they had to drop other serious cases against Jalloh because witnesses didn’t come to court.
Soros Prosecutor
So despite his history of violent crimes and the warnings from cops, Jalloh was running wild and free. Descano and his minions knew exactly what they were doing when they put Jalloh back on the street. And now, Stephanie Minter, a 41-year-old mom, is dead.
Yet the report in the Examiner shows his release was not only not a surprise, but also Descano’s quotidian routine.
“Richard Cox was already a serial sex offender when he exposed himself in a women’s locker room in Fairfax, but Descano let him go — and he proceeded to expose himself in a high-school girl’s locker room,” the Examiner’s Tim Carney reported:
Abdul Jalloh was arrested more than 30 times, including for malicious wounding, but was repeatedly set free. He is now accused of stabbing Stephanie Minter to death on February 23.
Gret Glyer was executed in his bed, in a calculated assassination. Descano last month let the killer go with an insanity plea.
And a Chinese pimp ran a brothel in a residential neighborhood, across the street from a school bus stop. While police did everything they could to shut it down, Descano’s office dropped the prostitution charges and let the place continue operating until the Republican attorney general got it shuttered.
Descano, it turns out, is a torpedo for Hungarian communist billionaire George Soros. That foreign subversive has bankrolled the campaigns of pro-crime leftist prosecutors nationwide.
“Descano raised about $1 million between the primary and the general election, a shocking amount for a downballot county race,” Carney reported:
About two-thirds of his cash came from two Soros-funded organizations, the Justice and Public Safety PAC and the New Virginia Majority PAC.
Spanberger: I’ll Let Him Go
Remarkably, Spanberger is on board with Descano’s releasing Jalloh instead of turning the illegal-alien thug over to ICE.
After the Department of Homeland Security requested that she ensure that Jalloh not be released after his prison term but instead be turned over to ICE pursuant to a federal detainer request, she refused.
Spanberger claimed that ICE needs a “judicial warrant” to require a transfer to ICE custody. That claim is false, as White House aide Stephen Miller noted. Immediately upon taking office, Spanberger blocked state police and other agencies from cooperating with ICE on deportations.
