Feds Put Fairfax County on Blast After Dropped Charges Let Alleged Park Predator Walk Free
They let a dude with felony drug charges slide out of jail, and now he's locked back up for trying to drag a female into the woods.
Look, the streets of Northern Virginia are bugging out right now because the system is completely backwards. We got a situation out in Fairfax County where the politicians and the feds are pointing fingers at each other, and regular people are the ones looking over their shoulders just trying to walk through the park. A Nicaraguan national named Moises Domingo Rico Rosales, who crossed the border back in 2022 and got released, just got locked up again for some wild behavior at Wakefield Park in Annandale.
Police say this dude exposed himself to one woman and then tried to drag another woman straight into the woods. He is now facing some heavy charges, including abduction with intent to defile. But the real story is how this man was even walking the streets to begin with. It turns out he got busted in 2024 for felony drug trafficking. Instead of locking him down, the local DA, Steve Descano—who gets his campaign money from George Soros—just dropped the charges and let him walk right out the front door.
Now, ICE had already put a hold on this man, telling the county jail, 'Yo, don't let him go, we need to deport him.' But Fairfax County has these 'sanctuary' rules. They told the feds they don't play that, refusing to cooperate with ICE because they didn't have a warrant signed by a judge. So instead of getting sent back to Nicaragua, Rico Rosales was put right back on the block.
The feds are completely fed up. DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis went public, putting Fairfax County and Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger on blast. She said straight up: 'This predator was RELEASED by the Biden Administration into our country in 2022.' She blamed 'open border and sanctuary policies' for creating more victims and demanded that the local politicians turn him over to ICE instead of letting him slide again.
But the local politicians are sticking to their playbook. Commonwealth’s Attorney Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid keep saying they can’t hold people just on an ICE detainer without a proper judicial warrant. They claim they are just following the constitution, but the people in the community are looking at them like they're crazy when felony drug dealers get let off the hook to go commit worse crimes.
This isn't even the first time this kind of policy backfired in Fairfax. Not too long ago, a dude named Abdul Jalloh from Sierra Leone, who had over 30 prior arrests on his record, got charged with second-degree murder for stabbing 41-year-old Stephanie Minter to death at a bus stop. That tragedy got so much noise it ended up in a congressional hearing where politicians in Washington grilled Descano and Sheriff Kincaid about why they keep releasing criminals back into the neighborhood.
At the end of the day, the people living in these communities are tired of the excuses. Whether it's the feds failing at the border or local DAs dropping felony charges because of politics, the streets aren't safe when predators get a free pass. ICE just put another detainer on Rico Rosales, and everyone is watching to see if Fairfax is going to play the same games or actually hand him over this time.
