You can't not to be a sanctuary location when you refuse to turn over a illegal alien monster criminal

The pathetic reason illegal migrant who ‘hacked mom to death’ in lefty DC suburb was free — despite 30 arrests

https://nypost.com/2026/03/03/us-news/pathetic-reason-illegal-migrant-who-hacked-mom-to-death-in-lefty-dc-suburb-was-free-despite-30-arrests/

An illegal migrant was free to allegedly hack a 41-year-old mom to death at a Virginia bus stop despite 30 prior arrests because prosecutors in the lefty Washington, DC, suburb say they were powerless to keep him locked up. 

Abdul Jalloh, 35, from Sierra Leone, had a rap sheet including on rape, assault, malicious wounding and theft charges, but prosecutors were unable to pursue many of the cases because most of his victims were homeless and refused to testify against him, the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office told The Post. 

That left Jalloh on the streets on Feb. 23, when cops said he repeatedly stabbed 41-year-old mom Stephanie Minter to death at a bus stop on Richmond Highway in Fairfax County.

“Our office convicted the defendant of a 2023 malicious wounding charge, and we have since made every effort to hold him accountable each subsequent time that he has come in contact with the criminal justice system,” said Laura Birnbaum, chief of staff for the Fairfax County prosecutor.

“Unfortunately, the defendant in this case also had a history of selecting victims with no fixed address – some of the most vulnerable members of our community,” Birnbaum said. 

In several cases, she said prosecutors “were unable to move forward with prosecution because we did not have victims’ participation or presence at court hearings, and successful prosecution would have depended on victim testimony.”

Fairfax County says it is not a sanctuary jurisdiction, but top Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee slammed Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid for failing to cooperate with ICE on the arrest of illegal migrants. 

The US Department of Homeland Security, which said it lodged an immigration retainer for Jalloh as early as 2020, slammed “Virginia’s sanctuary politicians.”

Virginia court records show that Jalloh was first arrested there on assault charges in 2017, and over the following year alone he was picked up for grand larceny, destruction of property and rape.

He was arrested on the rape rap on Oct. 23, 2018, but no details were available and the case is listed as a “nolle prosequi” — which translates to unwilling to prosecute.

Birnbaum said that case was filed under a prior prosecutor’s administration and no details are currently available — but the same designation appears on several other of Jalloh’s prior arrests.

The records show that he was arrested at least 18 times between January 2023 and last week — when he was charged with Minter’s murder — for petty larceny, trespassing, public drunkenness, assault and malicious wounding — a shooting or stabbing “with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable, or kill.”

The online records do not provide further details of the earlier cases.

What is clear is that Jalloh was a free man when he allegedly attacked Minter, with the incident caught on surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts after both got off a bus at the crime scene, police said.

DHS called on the new Democratic governor to commit to working with ICE to keep dangerous migrants off the streets.

“We are calling on Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Virginia’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this murderer and violent career criminal from jail without notifying [Immigration and Customs Enforcement],” DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Laren Bis said in a statement.

Spanberger in January signed an executive order rescinding an earlier directive that called for Virginia law enforcement to assist the feds in civil immigration matters.

The governor’s office did not respond to a request for comment from The Post on Monday.

The struggle to recover artwork looted by the Nazi's

California family’s 80-year fight to recover $100M in Nazi-looted art from Hungary

As soon as the Second World War ended in Europe in 1945, David de Csepel’s family began another battle — to return their storied art collection which was looted by the Nazis.

The family has mounted dozens of legal challenges over the last 80 years, in courts around the world for the return of their paintings, tapestries and Renaissance furniture that made up the collection of De Csepel’s great-grandfather, Baron Mór Lipót Herzog.

In recent years they have focused their efforts on the return of 28 paintings, including three El Grecos, which they value at $100 million. They are housed in public institutions in Hungary — three museums and a university in Budapest.

The family has been suing Hungary in US courts for more than 15 years, and are now hoping tough new provisions of landmark legislation before Congress could finally help them and other American victims of Nazi looting reclaim their family legacies.

Legal experts say amendments to the 2016 Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery (HEAR) Act could clear the way for foreign expropriation cases to be heard by US courts.

The bipartisan bill received unanimous consent in the Senate in December. It removes obstacles, such as time constraints, for victims of Nazi theft to litigate for restitution.

“I’m very frustrated,” said De Csepel, 60, the Altadena-based executive director of the Alliance for SoCal Innovation, a nonprofit that supports start-ups.”I grew up with my grandmother telling me stories about how Nazis came into their home in Budapest and just took paintings off the wall. And we are still fighting to get them back.”

Last month, the DC Circuit Court, which denied the family’s most recent appeal, signaled the need for Congress to pass the HEAR Act legislation in order to allow heirs to use US courts to litigate for the return of their art.

‘”The Herzogs were innocent victims of war and genocide, some of the millions of people for whom no measure of justice has ever been granted,” the court said in its decision.

“Their family heirlooms now hang on the walls of public institutions in Hungary that, to date, have shown no real interest in atoning for the depredations of that country’s World War II−era government.

“The only question we face today, however, is not whether these plaintiffs deserve justice — they surely do — but whether Congress has granted US courts the jurisdiction to provide it. “

Alycia Benenati, the lawyer for the family, agrees: “The pending HEAR Act amendments are critical for the Herzog family and other victims of Nazi persecution,” she told The Post. 

De Csepel is the great grandson of Herzog, a prominent banker who died in 1934, upon which point his art collection was passed to his family.

He had assembled Hungary’s largest private art collection, with more than 2,500 works by artists including Doménikos Theotokópoulos — better known as El Greco — Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Much of that art is scattered among museums and private collections around the world, including in Russia’s Hermitage museum, the family says.

During the Hungarian Holocaust, which began in 1944, more than 500,000 Jews were killed. Some members of the Herzog family were able to escape to other countries and, at first, hide a large part of their collection in the basement of a family factory. However, those artworks were discovered and seized by Adolf Eichmann, who headed up the special Nazi task force that deported and executed Jews in Hungary.

After the war, the Soviet communist regime which took over the country took possession of the art that the Nazis left behind and spread it across their realm.

“Right when the Berlin Wall fell we took up this cause with members of Congress trying to get Hungary  to do the right thing,” De Csepel told The Post.

But Hungary has long maintained that the Herzog heirs no longer own the art and that compensation was paid in 1973 that resolved outstanding claims — a situation disputed by the heirs and their attorneys.

Now, the family and other victims of Nazi theft are putting their hopes on the extension of the HEAR Act, which was first unanimously passed by the House and the Senate in 2016.

US Rep. Laurel Lee (R. Fla.) sponsored the current legislation. “Recent court interpretations have prevented families like this one from even having their day in court,” Lee told The Post. “That was never the intent of the law. My legislation restores that intent.”

Today, there are currently more than 100,000 works of art looted by the Nazis that have not been recovered, according to reports.

“We must confront this unacceptable and repugnant reality, which continues to allow entities and individuals to profit off the Jewish people’s pain,” said Rep. Jerry Nadler (D. NY), who was one of the original sponsors of the law. “Justice must not be denied due to procedural technicalities and legislative sunset provisions.”

Holocaust survivor Louise Lawrence-Israels, President of the Holocaust Survivors’ Foundation USA, urged the House to pass the legislation.

“Congress must fix this law,” she said. “Nazi Germany perpetrated murder and theft on an incomprehensible scale, both directly and through Allied, occupied, and collaborating governments. Protecting Germany and other governments holding looted art today, based on abstract academic theories, is an insult to history and morality.”
