One might have more sympathy for Democratic Party objections to President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts if it would just work with the administration to help remove illegal immigrant criminals from the country. But, as the case of Marvin Morales-Ortez in Fairfax County, Virginia, shows, Democrats refuse to cooperate with federal immigration law enforcement on even the most violent of cases, and innocent people are dead as a result.

It remains unclear when exactly Morales-Ortez, a citizen of El Salvador, first entered the United States. But, authorities have confirmed that he had no legal authorization to be in the country. It’s also known that he has been living in Fairfax County since 2020, and during that time, he has racked up seven arrests ranging from petty larceny to assault to first-degree murder. In all but one of these cases, George Soros-funded District Attorney Steve Descano chose not to prosecute Morales-Ortez. Even when Morales-Ortez was convicted of theft, he was sentenced to just a fine, which he never paid.
