Jim Jordan subpoenas blue state DAs accused of 'preferential treatment' for illegal immigrant criminals

Descano's 2020 memo said weigh immigration consequences. Stephanie Minter is still dead.

Summary

  • Fox News reports House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is sending subpoenas to Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty and Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano after they produced no documents despite repeated requests.
  • Jordan wrote that their offices' lenient treatment of foreign-national criminals endangers communities and lets criminal aliens escape both criminal and immigration accountability.
  • Descano issued 2020 plea-bargaining guidance telling prosecutors to consider immigration consequences where possible. DHS said the man accused of stabbing 41-year-old U.S. citizen Stephanie Minter to death entered illegally from Sierra Leone in 2012 and had been arrested more than 30 times before the killing.
  • Descano's office said it provided more than 1,100 pages and voluntary testimony over eight months. Dougherty, who lost a Colorado attorney general primary, called the probe a political stunt. Boulder’s January 2017 ordinance told city employees not to work with federal immigration authorities or ask about status.

Commentary

A mill dad still sits on a vinyl chair outside a courtroom and knows a stabbing file is supposed to mean a hold, not a collateral-consequences memo. He did not pay the county levy so a 2020 guidance could weigh a defendant's paperwork over a dead woman.

Thirty-plus arrests. 2012 entry. 2020 memo. 1,100 pages and still a subpoena. The honest household already paid for a prosecutor who was supposed to charge the crime. The cold rain on that Fairfax sidewalk still waits.

Look every working father who still walks a wife to a bus stop in the eye and answer this: if a DA already told his office to weigh immigration fallout, who still owns the next Minter file that a sanctuary ordinance was written to bury?

If the 2020 memo already weighed immigration, who still owns the next stabbing file?

Jordan. Descano. Dougherty. Stephanie Minter. Keep those four names.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stood a post so a DA still charged the knife. A collateral memo is not justice.

u/rule_first · 4h

2012 entry. 30-plus arrests. 2020 guidance. 2017 Boulder ordinance. Print the four.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied counties still treat a foreign-national stabbing as a hold, not a sensitivity drill.

u/docket_rat · 3h

1,100 pages claimed. Zero on the latest ask. Subpoena follows. File the sequence.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still ride that last bus. I want the next knife case charged without a status discount.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A 30-arrest file is not a witness-protection theory. It is a warning the street already paid.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A sanctuary DA is a second border around every bus stop.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed Jordan's letters, the memo, and Minter. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Answer the subpoena. Drop the discount. A citizen's name is not a collateral cost.
