An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/immigration\/illegal-immigrants\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">illegal immigrant<\/a> from Sierra Leone, Abdul Jalloh, is accused of killing her. Jalloh had a lengthy criminal record, including convictions for malicious wounding, identity theft, trespassing and assault. He also had a prior charge of forcible rape.<\/p>\n<p>The case comes as violent and sexual crime has increased in Fairfax County and has renewed scrutiny of Democratic Commonwealth\u2019s Attorney Steve Descano. Descano won office with significant financial backing from the Soros family\u2019s Justice and Public Safety PAC. So far, the recall effort led by the victim\u2019s mother, Cheryl Minter, has collected more than 12,000 signatures.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Fox News Digital, Minter said she is calling for Descano to be removed from office because she believes &#8220;had they actually prosecuted these people, then Stephanie would still be alive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/politics\/soros-backed-das-lax-illegal-immigration-policies-led-preventable-bus-stop-stabbing-murder-complaint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>SOROS-BACKED DA&#8217;S LAX ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION POLICIES LED TO &#8216;PREVENTABLE&#8217; BUS STOP STABBING MURDER: COMPLAINT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Under Virginia law, organizers must gather valid signatures from registered voters equal to 10% of the votes cast in the last election, file a detailed petition alleging specific legal grounds and prove those grounds in circuit court before a judge can remove the prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p>In her petition, Minter pointed to Jalloh\u2019s more than 30 arrests and criminal charges and said that &#8220;again and again, Fairfax County Commonwealth\u2019s Attorney Steve Descano let him walk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jalloh had been arrested more than 30 times and faced dozens of charges before Minter\u2019s killing; some cases were dropped, while others resulted in convictions and jail time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thirty times the system had a chance to stop him. Thirty times,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;I think about that every single day. This was not an unavoidable tragedy. It was the predictable consequence of decisions made by Descano.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Fox News Digital, Minter explained, &#8220;Stephanie was my world. She was my only daughter. She was so much to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Minter said her grief motivated her to take action. She said her daughter\u2019s killing opened her eyes to what she sees as a broader problem, saying Stephanie&#8217;s death is &#8220;not an isolated failure.&#8221; She believes Descano\u2019s prosecutorial leadership is a common thread in the stories of many victims in Fairfax County. While she lost her daughter, she said it is not too late to protect other families in the county.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Laura Birnbaum, a spokesperson for Descano&#8217;s office, told Fox News Digital, &#8220;Our office is prosecuting Abdul Jalloh for the murder of Ms. Minter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Birnbaum noted that Jalloh was &#8220;indicted last week and his trial is set for January 2027.&#8221; She said the office is &#8220;unable to comment further on an ongoing prosecution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/politics\/watch-angel-mom-turns-tables-sanctuary-politicians-simple-question-priorities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>WATCH: ANGEL MOM TURNS TABLES ON SANCTUARY POLITICIANS WITH BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THEIR PRIORITIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beyond Fairfax County, Minter said she has learned of &#8220;so many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/topic\/sanctuary-cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sanctuary states<\/a> that seem to be leaning toward the same thing and releasing [criminals].&#8221; She said she hopes the Descano recall effort will send a broader message to all sanctuary and soft-on-crime politicians across the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t just localized,&#8221; she said of the recall effort. &#8220;It&#8217;s important for so many states and so many cities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She called for &#8220;simple solutions&#8221; to the problem of repeat criminals across the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Either [the criminal] does his time, or he gets out of here, and he doesn&#8217;t come back,&#8221; she said. &#8220;That&#8217;s the way I look at it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/democrat-mayor-blasted-dhs-hunting-down-property-owners-leasing-ice-unhinged\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>DEMOCRAT MAYOR BLASTED BY DHS FOR &#8216;HUNTING DOWN&#8217; PROPERTY OWNERS LEASING TO ICE: &#8216;UNHINGED&#8217;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/newsletters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Minter said that what motivates her to keep going is the memory of the daughter she lost.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Her heart would want this to happen,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If it happened to one of her friends or somebody she knew or even didn&#8217;t \u2026 That keeps me going enough to keep pushing forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democratic prosecutor backed by George Soros faces a recall effort after an angel mom urged voters in her county to remove him from office &#8220;before another family pays the price.&#8221; Earlier this year, Stephanie Minter, 41, was stabbed and killed at a bus stop in Fairfax County, Virginia.
