Virginia law enforcement is facing scrutiny after an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, previously in custody, was released and allegedly committed murder just one day later. The suspect reportedly had a history of at least seven prior offenses.
Officials blamed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for the release, claiming coordination issues, though critics argue that local authorities bear responsibility for letting a dangerous criminal back on the streets.
The incident has reignited calls from conservatives for stricter immigration enforcement and accountability from Democrat-controlled local governments. Critics say the case underscores the risks of lenient policies toward illegal immigrants with criminal records.
