Soros-backed DA accused of going easy on illegal immigrants gets squeezed by House GOP

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is warning that subpoenas are on the table if county prosecutors accused of going easy on illegal immigrants who commit crimes do not cooperate.

Jordan's committee is investigating district attorneys for so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions" who have been accused of taking immigration status into account when pursuing criminal complaints, even when the alleged crime has nothing to do with the suspect's legal status.

"If we have to, we'll use subpoenas to get the documents that we think they may not be giving us.

There's a process we always go through.

We ask for things, we ask again, we explain why, we work with their office — in some cases their counsel — and back and forth," Jordan explained in an interview with Fox News Digital.

"And then if we have to use subpoenas, we certainly will do that ... but we want to know the facts." DOJ OPENS INVESTIGATION INTO SOROS-BACKED DA ACCUSED OF SHIELDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM CONSEQUENCES Of particular concern, Jordan said, is Fairfax County, Virginia, DA Steve Descano .

Descano was recently thrust under scrutiny after the stabbing death of 41-year-old U.S. citizen Stephanie Minter, whose accused killer came to the U.S. illegally from Sierra Leone in 2012.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the man had been arrested over 30 times before Minter's killing.

SOROS PROSECUTOR IN DANGER OF BEING REMOVED AFTER GRIEVING MOM’S DESPERATE ALARM: ‘CAN’T BELIEVE THIS’ Descano, who has led the Fairfax County District Attorney's Office since January 2020, issued plea bargaining guidance that year saying prosecutors should "consider immigration consequences where possible" and consider "the collateral immigration consequences of the specific crime(s) the defendant is charged with," according to local outlet WTOP News.

Fairfax County is known as a sanctuary jurisdiction , meaning local law enforcement is not bound to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

SANCTUARY COUNTY REFUSED 615 ICE TRANSFER REQUESTS, TURNED OVER JUST 11 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, RECORDS SHOW "This is one of the dumbest policies I've ever heard of.

You're going to tell local law enforcement not to work with federal law enforcement when it comes to enforcing federal law?" Jordan said.

"And then you have people like Mr.

Descano, who are releasing bad guys, and they have a stated policy saying, you know, 'We will look at their immigration status before we make a decision on charging,' and in certain clear agreements and they're releasing guys.
