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.
