JOHN ROBERTS: In Virginia, the family of a 41-year-old mother, stabbed to death last month allegedly by an illegal immigrant, is demanding accountability from Democratic officials. The family says those officials failed to protect their daughter. Stephanie Minter's suspected killer came into the country in 2012 and went on to rack up dozens of arrests. Joining us now is Marc Thiessen -- Fox News contributor and former speechwriter to George W. Bush. So she was stabbed February 23 at a Fairfax County bus stop.

And they believe in letting people like Abdul Jalloh back on the street. Let's put up his rap sheet, which is rather lengthy. So he entered the U.S. illegally in 2012 -- his criminal history 2014 to 2026 -- charged with second degree murder, rape -- the charge was dropped. Assault, guilty of one charge -- he was charged three times. Malicious wounding. Here's the former attorney general of Virginia, Jason Miyares.

EX-ATTORNEY GENERAL JASON MIYARES (R-VA): Her killer had been arrested 30 prior times. He was in this country illegally. (editing jump) He was a ticking time bomb, and that time bomb went off, and Stephanie was the casualty. Stephanie Minter did not have to die.

ROBERTS: Not only that, but the Fairfax County commonwealth attorney, Steve Descano, was warned about Jalloh by the Fairfax County Police Department which said: "Mr. Jalloh is one of the repeat and violent offenders we discussed. ... I wanted to get your background on why he is out so soon. ... Unfortunately, based on numerous dealings with him, it is not a question of (if), but rather when e will maliciously wound or worse again." A warning that completely fell on deaf ears.

So what's really interesting about this whole case is that, eight years ago, ICE had this guy in custody holding him for deportation. Listen to what DHS said: "ICE arrested Abdul Jalloh on November 27, 2018. He was in custody for 702 days, until ICE was forced to release him following a judge's ruling that he could not be removed to his home nation of Sierra Leone. ICE can only detain illegals for the purpose of removal. Without third country removal, there was no possibility for this criminal to be removed or further detained."

So the judge ordered his release. And had that judge not ordered his release -- if he had have been deported, Stephanie Minter would still be alive today.
