What is going on in Fairfax County, Virginia? The other day we learned that prosecutor Steve Descano helped an illegal alien institutionalized for murdering his landlord get a passport and a 48-hour pass from his facility, only for that illegal alien to flee the country. Yesterday, an illegal alien was arrested for murdering a 42-year-old mother near a popular jogging trail.
Back in April, 19-year-old illegal alien Israel Flores-Ortiz was arrested for sexually assaulting nine high school girls. Flores-Ortiz was a student at that Fairfax high school when the assaults took place. He was found guilty on all nine counts but was sentenced to only 180 days in jail.
Now Flores-Ortiz is set to be released in early September. What will happen to him?

A 19-year-old man who was convicted of assaulting nine girls in the hallways of Fairfax High School is set to be released from jail in two weeks.
Earlier this year, 7News was the first to tell you that Israel Flores Ortiz was accused of groping girls at school. Ortiz is in the country illegally from El Salvador and crossed the southern border in 2024.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said he was released into the country during the Biden Administration. He enrolled in Fairfax High School, and during his junior year earlier this year, 7News was the first to speak with parents who said Ortiz groped their daughters’ private areas.
Reporter Nick Minock wonders if Fairfax County will honor the ICE detainer for Flores-Ortiz, or if the high school will re-enroll him so he can finish his senior year.
🚨New: the 19-year-old illegal immigrant WJLA was the first to tell you about, who groped several girls in Fairfax High School, is scheduled to be released on 09/03/26. Will the Fairfax Sheriff honor ICE’s detainer? Will Fairfax County Public Schools re enroll him as a student… https://t.co/RCIjBtFrBG

This is absolutely insane. This illegal alien, an adult, had no business being in the country in the first place. Now nine girls have been assaulted, and it seems like Flores-Ortiz will be protected by Fairfax County officials and possibly returned to the high school where he can assault and victimize even more girls.
Bigger questions is @fcpsnews allowing him back in school if ICE doesn’t get him?

They probably will. The district said he'd be welcomed back after serving his sentence, and the school's principal sent out an email downplaying the sexual assaults back in March, telling parents that the student was "charged with inappropriately touching other students at school. These incidents involved the student touching students’ buttocks while they were transitioning in the hallways."
No. Flores-Ortiz ran his hands between the girls' legs. He sexually assaulted them.
Fairfax County is such a disgrace. https://t.co/octqWE3RfY

Half of the murderers in Fairfax County are illegal aliens.
This is the insanity of Virginia Democrat policies.

They would rather send a sex offender to school with YOUR KIDS than turn him over to ICE. https://t.co/i1pP9olT3f
Democrats put illegal aliens ahead of your safety, and your children's safety.
