The first statewide elected Latino in Virginia\u2019s history also announced several new investigations aimed at increasing government transparency and making Old Dominion safer.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement given to the <a href=\"https:\/\/richmond.com\/news\/state-and-regional\/miyares-fires-30-in-ags-office-including-lawyer-investigating-dangerous-conditions-at-richmond-apartments\/article_280125a7-9dda-58db-a0e0-667758fafd0f.html\">Richmond Times-Dispatch<\/a>, Victoria LaCivita, a spokesperson for Miyares, defended the move, saying, \u201cDuring the campaign, it was made clear that now-Attorney General-elect Miyares and Attorney General Herring have very different visions for the office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are restructuring the office, as every incoming AG has done in the past,\u201d Civita added.<\/p>\n<p>As a candidate, Miyares had stated that \u201cGeorge Soros-backed Commonwealth\u2019s attorneys are not doing their jobs,\u201d and he promised to prosecute crimes that progressive attorneys had ignored.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/virginia-ag-elect-miyares-seeks-legal-way-to-social-justice-das-and-do-their-job-for-them\">reported<\/a> by Fox News, several Virginia prosecutors had received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the progressive financier:<\/p>\n<p><em>Liberal billionaire George Soros has repeatedly poured thousands into prosecutor\u2019s races in Virginia. In 2019, Soros provided a significant cash infusion to three winning progressive candidates, Parisa Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington County (nearly $1 million from Soros); Buta Biberaj in Loudon County ($850,000 from Soros); and Steve Descano in Fairfax County ($600,000 from Soros). Soros spent about $200,000 in a prosecutor\u2019s race in Norfolk this year. His candidate went on to win the race.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As Attorney General-elect, Miyares also announced that he would be pursuing legislation under Governor Glen Youngkin (R) that \u201cwould essentially say, if the chief law enforcement officer in a jurisdiction \u2013 either the chief of police or the sheriff \u2013 makes a request because a commonwealth\u2019s attorney is not doing their job, then I\u2019m going to do their job for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thinking specifically, some of the so-called \u2018social justice\u2019 commonwealth\u2019s attorneys that have been elected particularly in Northern Virginia. We\u2019re obviously aware of some pretty horrific cases,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, hours after being sworn into office, Miyares launched two new investigations into the Virginia Parole Board as well as Loudoun County Public schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the reasons Virginians get so fed up with government is the lack of transparency \u2013 and that\u2019s a big issue here,\u201d Miyares said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/virginias-new-ag-miyares-announces-investigations-within-hours-loudoun-county\">statement<\/a>. \u201cThe Virginia Parole Board broke the law when they let out murders, rapists, and cop killers early on their sentences without notifying the victims. Loudoun County Public Schools covered up a sexual assault on school grounds for political gain, leading to an additional assault of a young girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/governor-youngkin-signs-11-orders-on-day-one-in-office-includes-crt-ban-investigating-loudoun-county-officials\">reported<\/a> by The Daily Wire on Saturday, two of the 11 executive orders signed into law by Governor Youngkin dealt directly with Virginia\u2019s parole board and LCPS:<\/p>\n<p>Executive<em> Order Number Three delivers on his Day One promise to restore integrity and confidence in the Parole Board of the Commonwealth of Virginia.<\/em><em>Executive Order Number Four delivers on his Day One promise to investigate wrongdoing in Loudoun County.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Scandal plagued the Virginia Parole Board after it came to light that the board had allegedly been granting parole to cop killers and murderers without properly following procedure. The board is supposed to inform families of the victims, as well as prosecutors, who have a right to weigh on whether or not individuals should be given parole. But Virginia\u2019s inspector general found those instructions had not been followed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt appears that neither the rules nor the law were followed,\u201d Suffolk Commonwealth\u2019s Attorney Phil Ferguson <a href=\"https:\/\/richmond.com\/news\/local\/crime-and-courts\/va-parole-board-scandal-it-appears-that-neither-the-rules-nor-the-laws-were-followed\/article_bff17105-202a-520b-9983-5c77976c34bd.html\">said<\/a> in April of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe three cases in Suffolk were among the worst people I\u2019ve prosecuted in my many years as a prosecutor,\u201d he added in reference to several convicted killers who had been granted parole. \u201cThe crimes were committed by people that maybe should have spent the rest of their life in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Loudoun, as is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/loudoun-county-school-board-blasted-over-daily-wire-sex-assault-report-parents-demand-resignations-end-this-nightmare\">well documented<\/a> by The Daily Wire, school board officials have reportedly faced myriad scandals, including allegedly covering up a sexual assault in one of their schools. That cover-up appears to have been motivated by a desire to protect the county\u2019s transgender bathroom policy.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
