Murder charge filed following release of immigrant despite ICE detainer

  • Marvin Morales-Ortez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was released from jail in Fairfax County despite an ICE detainer request and is now accused of murder the next day.
  • Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano dropped multiple charges against Morales-Ortez, including assault and firearm charges, leading to his release.
  • ICE officials stated that Fairfax County failed the victim by ignoring their detainer request, allowing Morales-Ortez to remain free in the community.
  • The Department of Homeland Security stated that Fairfax County officials have 'blood on their hands' for not cooperating with ICE, which could have prevented the murder, according to a DHS spokesperson.
