Soros DA freed illegal immigrant one day before alleged murder
A 23-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, with a history of felony arrests in Fairfax County, Virginia, was released from jail after charges related to assault and brandishing a firearm were dropped by Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, a progressive district attorney whose campaign was funded by George Soros. Just one day after his release, the suspect, Marvin Morales-Ortez, was arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal shooting in Reston. The charges had been dropped as the victim was out of the country and would not cooperate with the court proceedings. Descano’s prosecutorial decisions have drawn criticism, with some conservative commentators linking his Soros-funded campaign to lenient policies toward repeat offenders. The Department of Homeland Security and ICE did not comment on the case.
Illegal immigrant was released from jail by Soros district attorney one day before allegedly killing Virginia man
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.
The Fairfax County Police Department announced Wednesday afternoon that officers had arrested Marvin Morales-Ortez as the suspect in a fatal shooting that occurred outside a home in Reston earlier in the day.
Morales-Ortez had a long list of felony arrests in the county, but was released from jail on Tuesday after Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office dropped the charges for brandishing a firearm and assaulting and injuring someone.
Descano’s campaign for his current job, the top law enforcement official in a Virginia county outside Washington, was bankrolled in 2019 by the Justice and Public Safety PAC, whose sole funder is George Soros.
Soros is a billionaire who has made a name for himself by financing campaigns for progressive candidates in the United States and globally.
Fellows at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington wrote in 2020 that to gain the financial backing of Soros, “rogue prosecutors such as Descano kowtow to the movement because it bankrolls their campaigns. … Once elected, they’re expected to deliver on their promises.”
Morales-Ortez was charged with assault and battery in 2020; another assault and battery charge in 2023, along with disorderly conduct; petit larceny in 2024; and pointing or brandishing a gun, assaulting, and injuring a victim in September 2025. He was only convicted of the theft.
He was also charged with first-degree murder in 2021 and spent a year and a half in jail awaiting trial. However, the charges were later dropped, and a different suspect was convicted of the murder.

A spokesperson for the Fairfax County attorney’s office told WJLA that it decided not to detain the suspect any longer after it was “unable to move forward with the case [earlier this week] because the victim told police that they were out of the country and would not be coming to court to cooperate with proceedings.”

“Sadly, without the victim’s necessary testimony, we could not move forward with the case,” the Fairfax County court official said.
The Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to requests for comment.
