40 Charges DROPPED — Then She Was Murdered

Abdul Jalloh entered the United States illegally in 2012 from Sierra Leone and subsequently accumulated a staggering criminal record in Fairfax County. His charges included rape, multiple stabbings, assaults, malicious wounding, identity theft, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Despite this extensive criminal history spanning over a decade, Jalloh remained on the streets due to prosecutorial decisions that prioritized procedural excuses over public safety. In 2020, ICE lodged an immigration detainer and a judge issued a final removal order, yet local authorities failed to ensure his deportation, allowing him to continue victimizing the community.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, who received backing from progressive financier George Soros, has faced mounting criticism for his office’s pattern of dropping serious charges against violent offenders. In Jalloh’s case, Descano’s office secured only one malicious wounding conviction while dismissing the overwhelming majority of charges, citing lack of victim participation at hearings. This excuse rings hollow to critics like Sean Kennedy of Virginians for Safe Communities, who pointed out that Descano managed to convict Jalloh once without victim input, proving such participation isn’t always necessary. Police Chief Kevin Davis defended his officers’ investigative work and indirectly held the prosecutor’s office accountable for the failures.

SHOCKING VIDEO RESURFACES: Trump’s New DHS Pick Markwayne Mullin PRAISED and HUGGED the Cop Who MURDERED Unarmed Air Force Vet Ashli Babbitt – Called Him a Hero!

A newly resurfaced video is raising eyebrows across conservative circles after comments from Sen. Markwayne Mullin, President Trump’s latest pick to head the Department of Homeland Security after removing Kristi Noem, praising and even hugging Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt.

Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran and Trump supporter, was gunned down in cold blood on January 6, 2021, while peacefully protesting.

She was unarmed, posing no threat, yet Byrd fired a single shot that ended her life as she attempted to climb through a broken window in the Capitol.

But according to Mullin, Byrd is the real victim here! In an interview on C-SPAN from July 2021, six months after Babbitt was murdered, Mullin recounts the moments after the shooting.

“After it happened, he came over. He was physically and emotionally distraught. I actually gave him a hug and I said, ‘sir, you did what you had to do.’” Mullin went even further, telling investigators that he heard Byrd issue a warning before firing, a claim debunked by video evidence showing no such warning was given.

He told media outlets that Byrd “didn’t have a choice” and that his shot “saved people’s lives.”

Sen. Mullin: I guarantee you—I don’t know for a fact, but I guarantee you—he’s never had to pull his weapon in a manner like that before. He was the last person in the world who ever wanted to use force like that; he wasn’t wanting to do that.

I know for a fact because, after it happened, he came over and was physically and emotionally distraught, and I actually gave him a hug. And I said, “Sir, you did what you had to do.” And I mean that.

Unfortunately, for the young lady, her family’s life has changed. It was an unfortunate situation where she lost her life, and some people lost their loved ones.

But the lieutenant’s life has also changed, too, because if it’s the first time you’ve ever had to use lethal force, that doesn’t ever leave you.

And it wasn’t his choice; he didn’t show up to work that day to have to do that. He was doing his job, and he got put in a situation where he had to do his job because there was a member still on the balcony.

If you’re going to present your weapon in a [certain] manner and give commands, and they still don’t listen and they still approach, you don’t have a choice. Either you have to, at that point, discharge your weapon in a manner of self-defense, or that weapon is going to be taken away from you.

It’s going to be used on you, and it’s going to put all of our lives in danger, too.

Of Course: Cannibal Axe Murderer Released Back Into Society Despite Sick Crimes

A Connecticut man who hacked a homeless victim to death with an axe and devoured parts of his brain and eyeball is now being unleashed back into the community, thanks to a psychiatric board’s twisted notion of “progress.” 

Tyree Smith’s release exposes the glaring failures in a criminal justice apparatus that’s more concerned with coddling the criminally insane than protecting everyday Americans from repeat horrors.

Smith was arrested in 2012 after murdering Angel Gonzalez in a vacant Bridgeport apartment. Prosecutors said he used an axe to mutilate the victim, then consumed portions of the body. 

Found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity due to schizophrenia and substance abuse issues, he was committed to a maximum-security psychiatric hospital for 60 years.

But now, after just over a decade, the Connecticut Psychiatric Security Review Board has granted him conditional release. Officials claim a “careful review of his clinical progress” shows stability through medication and treatment. He’s already been enjoying temporary leaves, including overnight passes into the community.

This move has sparked outrage, with state GOP leaders slamming it as “outrageous and mind-boggling.” They point out the victim’s family vehemently objected, arguing it endangers public safety and mocks victims of violent crime.

DHS Slams Governor Spanberger for Protecting a Murderer Over Virginians

Governor Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate, but she’s a radical Leftist who — in just two short months — has driven businesses out of the state, jacked up taxes on everything from gym memberships to dog walking, and ended state law enforcement cooperation with ICE.

She’s also protecting a criminal illegal alien who killed a Virginia woman last month, by refusing to honor an ICE detainer on the suspect until DHS gets a signed judicial warrant. That’s a trap: ICE does not need a judicial warrant to detain and deport a criminal illegal alien, or any illegal alien. Democrats know this, and hope to make it impossible to deport their new voter base by making the process long and arduous.

DHS is having none of it, and they slammed Spanberger for putting criminals ahead of the safety of Virginians.

Northern Virginia Woman Stabbed to Death at Bus Stop by Illegal Alien With Over 30 Prior Arrests

An illegal alien from Sierra Leone with over thirty arrests was charged with murder this week in the fatal stabbing of a Northern Virginia woman at a bus stop on a busy highway in the Hybla Velley area of Fairfax County just south of Alexandria last Monday evening.

Police say Abdul Jalloh, 32, rode on the same bus as Stephanie Minter, 41, and was seen getting off the bus with her. Soon afterward police were called to the scene where Minter was found with multiple stab wounds to her upper body.

Excerpt from a Fox New report:

The Department of Homeland Security is calling on Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger to ensure local law enforcement cooperates with federal immigration officials by handing over an illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal record who allegedly killed a woman earlier this week at a Virginia bus stop.

Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, arrested an illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone earlier this week on charges of second-degree murder after he allegedly fatally stabbed a woman, Stephanie Minter, 41, who was found dead at a local bus stop with several wounds to the upper body.

The alleged suspect, Abdul Jalloh, 32, also has a criminal history of more than 30 arrests, according to DHS, including for rape, malicious wounding, assault, identity theft, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, assault and pick-pocketing.

The request from the Trump administration comes after the newly elected Democratic governor of Virginia signed an executive order to end cooperation between federal immigration officials and state and local law enforcement, a move several Democratic Party governors have taken recently amid President Donald Trump’s move to increase deportation operations around the country.

…Jalloh entered the United States illegally in 2012, according to DHS, and immigration officials lodged an immigration detainer against him in 2020, whereupon he was granted a final order of removal by a judge who said he could be removed to any country other than Sierra Leone.

Accused Killer of Astrophysicist Arrested for Trespassing on Scientist’s Property With Loaded Rifle Two Months Before Killing — Newsom-Appointed Judge Dropped Charges

New details have emerged regarding the accused killer of Caltech astrophysicist Carl Grillmair.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, 67, was shot in his torso by a gunman who approached him on his porch on February 16.

Authorities have since arrested Freddy Snyder, 29, who has been charged with Grillmair’s murder and is being held on a $3 million bail.

New details obtained by the Los Angeles Times have revealed that Snyder was previously arrested two months earlier for trespassing on Grillmair’s property with a loaded, unregistered rifle.

Per The Los Angeles Times:

On Dec. 20, Lt. Michael Modica of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said, the scientist spotted someone possibly trespassing on his property and called law enforcement.

When deputies arrived and found Snyder in the area, Modica said, he was carrying a rifle and explained that he was on his way to the post office.

Grillmair’s home and the local post office are in opposite directions from Snyder’s home, property records show.

According to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, Snyder told deputies he was carrying the rifle just in case he ran into wild animals. But deputies noted that the rifle was loaded and not registered to Snyder, so they took him into custody.

In addition to one felony count of carrying a loaded firearm, the criminal complaint against Snyder charged him with trying to escape from the Palmdale station jail the day after he was arrested.

The New York Post further reported that Judge Osman Abbasi, appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom, dismissed Snyder’s felony gun charges.

— California Post (@californiapost) February 24, 2026

After dropping the felony gun charge, Judge Abbasi ordered Snyder to complete a gun safety course, and he was released from jail shortly thereafter.

Snyder was scheduled to appear in court again on February 5 regarding his case, but he did not show up for the hearing.

Despite not appearing, Snyder’s charges were dismissed under California Penal Code 1385, and just 11 days later, he allegedly murdered Grillmair.

Grillmair’s murder has rocked the astrophysicists’ community, considering he was a renowned researcher in the studies of Dark matter, Galactic structure, stellar populations, and exoplanets.

Grillmair was also notable in the community for finding water on a distant planet orbiting a star.

Medicine Technician Arrested in Murder of Millionaire Philanthropist; Police Say Suspect Wore Wig

Authorities in Maryland have arrested a suspect in the murder of millionaire philanthropist Robert Fuller Jr at a senior living facility in Maryland.

The Montgomery Police Department has announced that Maurquise James, 22, a medicine technician who was employed by the Cogir Potomac Senior Living Facility, has been arrested for the murder of Robert Fuller Jr.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the Montgomery County Police on Saturday released surveillance footage of a suspect they believed was connected to the murder.

In surveillance footage, a person wearing a plaid jacket and appearing to have long hair was seen entering the senior living facility where Fuller resided.

Shortly after the surveillance footage was released to the public, employees notified authorities that James wore the same plaid jacket to the senior living facility on multiple occasions.

Captain Sean Gheen said detectives also received a tip from a staff member at the senior living facility who informed authorities that James had been at the facility after his work hours on the night of the murder.

On Tuesday morning, James was arrested after he fired shots at a Maryland State Trooper, and detectives were able to match the bullet casings to those found at the murder of Fuller.

CNN Contributor Shows Our Media Has Nothing but Contempt for Angel Families

One of the recurring themes of President Trump’s Angel Families remembrance ceremony yesterday was how the Democrats and their media allies have ignored Angel Families and their plight for years. 

White House Director of Communications and Assistant to the President Steven Cheung blasted the media yesterday for not covering the heartbreaking statements of the Americans who lost loved ones to criminal illegal aliens, calling it “sickening and horrific.”

Cheung specifically called out CNN and MS NOW for refusing to broadcast the ceremony.

But CNN took it a step further and treated these Angel Families with pure, unadulterated contempt.

“I think what…we’re actually getting a little preview of kind of the theme of his address later today at the White House when he hosts the so-called Angel Moms, so really focusing on immigration as he kicks off his big State of the Union week,” said Seung Ming Kim on CNN.

France Summons U.S. Ambassador After Washington Condemns Killing of Conservative Activist, Insists There Are ‘No Lessons to Learn’

France announced Sunday it will summon U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner after Washington publicly condemned the killing of French conservative activist Quentin Deranque.

Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the U.S. Embassy’s comments about the case amounted to interference in a matter that “concerns the national community.”

He added that France “rejects any instrumentalisation of this tragedy” and insisted the country has “no lessons to learn” from what he described as an “international reactionary movement.”

Barrot said he plans to raise additional concerns with Ambassador Kushner, including U.S. sanctions imposed on former EU commissioner Thierry Breton and French judge Nicolas Guillou.

He described the sanctions as “unjustified and unjustifiable,” while Macron has reportedly written to President Trump requesting that certain sanctions on European citizens be lifted.

Deranque was beaten to death during a clash with far-left thugs, an attack that has sparked nationwide outrage and renewed debate over political violence in France.
