Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares slammed Gov. Abigail Spanberger after a released illegal immigrant with a long rap sheet stabbed a woman to death at a bus stop. Abdul Jalloh allegedly stabbed victim Stephanie Minter at a Fairfax County bus stop after prosecutors had dropped charges in most of his previous cases. He was reportedly arrested more than 30 times.

Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano most recently dropped violent charges against the alleged perpetrator, according to local news reports.

"Not even a month since I called out Gov. Abigail Spanberger for signing her EO banning law enforcement from cooperating with ICE we see the bitter fruits: Abdul Jalloh entered the U.S. illegally, stabbed an innocent woman to death at a bus stop this week despite having a [...] criminal history of more than 30 arrests, according to DHS, including for rape, malicious wounding, assault, identity theft, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, assault and pick-pocketing.' This is exactly the criminal first, victim last policies that get innocent Americans killed," Miyares wrote on X.

Descano has previously been under fire before for dropping criminal charges against illegal immigrant offenders who go on to commit more crimes.

In 2024, 31-year-old Denis Humberto Navarette Romero, an illegal immigrant, was arrested for many crimes, but he was released into the community repeatedly. He went on to allegedly rape a woman on a trail in Fairfax County.

Upon taking office, Spanberger ordered localities not to cooperate with ICE despite probable cause for arrest. 

Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., also criticized Spanberger after the death of Minter.

"Stephanie Minter was stabbed to death at a Virginia bus stop by a career criminal illegal alien with 30 PRIOR ARRESTS. This is what happens when you put pro-crime Democrats in charge," he wrote on X.
