The Department of Justice just dropped the hammer on Steve Descano, the Soros-funded Commonwealth Attorney for Fairfax County, Virginia, filing a federal lawsuit after Descano tried to criminalize ICE agents for wearing masks during enforcement operations.
Imagine thinking it's a good idea to put targets on the backs of federal law enforcement. Descano did, and President Trump's DOJ isn't having it.
The lawsuit also names Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, targeting what the DOJ describes as an "unconstitutional attempt to regulate federal law enforcement officers." Specifically, Virginia tried to criminally prohibit federal officers from wearing masks, require individual identifiers that would expose agents' identities, and functionally ban cooperative agreements between federal and local law enforcement agencies.
Let that sink in. A state government — led by Soros-backed prosecutors — tried to make it illegal for ICE agents to protect their own identities while arresting dangerous illegal immigrants. In a country where ICE agents and their families regularly receive death threats.
The DOJ laid it out plainly in their announcement: "Today, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, and Commonwealth Attorney for Fairfax, Virginia Steve Descano challenging their unconstitutional attempt to regulate federal law enforcement officers by criminally prohibiting federal officers from wearing masks, requiring individual identifiers, and functionally banning cooperative law enforcement agencies dedicated to helping enforce this nation's laws."
Not the Bee reported on the lawsuit and rightly dubbed Descano "America's worst prosecutor." Honestly, that might be generous. This is a man who looked at federal agents risking their lives to enforce immigration law and decided the real problem was that their faces were covered.
We all know the playbook by now. Soros money flows into local DA and prosecutor races. The hand-picked candidates win. Then they use their offices not to prosecute criminals, but to wage war against law enforcement. It's happened in city after city, from San Francisco to Philadelphia to Chicago. Now it's Fairfax County, Virginia.
The de-masking push was never about "accountability" or "transparency" — those are just the scare-quote words they use to sell it. It was about intimidation. If you expose an ICE agent's identity, you make that agent and their family a target for every open-borders activist and cartel associate with a grudge. Descano knows this. He doesn't care.
But here's the beautiful part: the Trump administration isn't playing defense anymore. They're suing. They're naming names. They're treating these rogue prosecutors like the legal saboteurs they are.
Steve Descano wanted to be a hero to the anti-ICE crowd. Instead, he's about to become a defendant. Welcome to the FAFO phase of immigration enforcement, counselor.
