The Justice Department has launched an investigation into a radical Northern Virginia prosecutor who allegedly discriminated against US citizens by offering preferential treatment “only to illegal alien” criminal defendants.

The DOJ notified Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano on Wednesday that it is looking into potential civil rights violations related to his office’s plea bargaining, charging decisions and sentencing policies.

“Under my leadership, the Civil Rights Division will not allow local prosecutors to pick and choose winners based on their immigration status,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in a statement.

“This investigation will uncover whether this prosecutor is putting the community at risk in offering sweetheart deals to illegal immigrants charged with serious crimes,” the head of the DOJ’s civil rights division added.

The investigation centers on Descano’s adoption of policies that instruct prosecutors to “consider immigration consequences where possible” and “consider … the collateral immigration consequences of the specific crime(s) the defendant is charged with” during plea bargaining, charging and sentencing.

The DOJ is examining whether Descano “engaged in unlawful discrimination in violation of Title VI and the Safe Streets Act and whether [his office] is engaged in a pattern or practice of law enforcement misconduct that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States” by implementing that policy after his 2019 election.

During his campaign, Descano’s website included language similar to the current Fairfax County DA’s office’s policy.

“If two people commit the same crime, but only one’s punishment includes deportation, that’s a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County,” read the since-deleted line on Descano’s website, The Post previously reported.

These are the type of people the DOJ needs to go after. Root them out at the prosecutor level. He can't make up rules that reflect the "values" of just one county.

Good! This needs to happen nationwide, and if they violated the law, they need removed/arrested!
Obviously the Congress "checkpoint" is failing horribly and has been.

It goes without saying that if they are found guilty of something, they should be barred from the BAR for life.

No, actually you can make up rules that reflect the values of one county, or one district, or one city. That is the whole reason behind prosecutorial discretion. I mean you don't want some AG in Wyoming enforcing a federal assault weapons ban do you? And that is just it, local governments have NO responsibility, ZERO responsibility, in enforcing federal law and that includes immigration.

All the local layers of government within this Republic exist for a reason. They are often described as mini-laboratories of democracy. Here, communities can establish their own standards, their own norms, and innovation can move from the bottom up, as it should.

Well, in this instance Fairfax County is more like a meth lab in a single-wide someplace.....Toxic and bound to explode.

I can see that. I found this, Descano is toast.

He/they keep bending over backwards for illegal aliens charged with crimes.

A deliberate plan.
