I’m happy to share I won three Emmys last night, including one for Daily News Reporter! Thank you to my wife and family, God, our loyal viewers, my sources, my team at WJLA, and the judges! More information on the Emmy wins: 🏆 Talent: Reporter - Daily News ⁃Stories that were judged: My coverage of Loudoun County Public Schools and Superintendent Aaron Spence and how Spence handled student overdoses, my coverage on the Fairfax County and Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, and my coverage on Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano. 🏆 Politics/Government News ⁃Stories that were judged: “Uncovering Local Politicians' Lavish International Travel” My reporting showed viewers how Loudoun County Chair Phyllis Randall and Supervisors Juli Briskman, Koran Saines, and Sylvia Glass spent tax dollars on lavish trips. My reporting also showed how the elected officials spent their time during taxpayer funded trips. 🏆 Business/Consumer News ⁃Stories that were judged: “Exposing Bogus Job Claims from Elected Officials” Loudoun County Chair Phyllis Randall claimed her lavish taxpayer funded international sister city trips brought a significant amount of jobs and investments to Loudoun County. My reporting showed viewers that was not true.

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 removals, there was no possibility for this criminal to be removed or further detained. This case illustrates the importance of third country removals to public safety. Now, thanks to President Trump, criminals including murderers, gang members, rapists, pedophiles, and terrorists, who judges have ordered cannot return to their home countries, can be removed from the United States and sent to a third country.

A bill is sitting on Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s desk to launch a recreational marijuana market. Do you want pot shops in your community?

ICYMI: "I have not heard from Descano's office at all," Cheryl Minter, whose daughter was fatally stabbed in Fairfax County, said today on WMAL's O'Connor & Company. FULL INTERVIEW: omny.fm/shows/oconnor-…

It would be nice to have an explanation from @DHSgov on how Abdul Jalloh returned to Virginia before allegedly murdering Stephanie Minter & stabbing others. The Fairfax County Sheriff's Office says the illegal immigrant was picked up by ICE in 2018. wjla.com/news/local/ill…

New: Stephanie Minter’s mother told @WMALDC @LarryOConnor this morning that Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano still hasn’t reached out to her.

🚨 🚨WATCH: Parents tell me Fairfax County Public Schools told them the soon to be 19-year-old illegal immigrant charged for groping their daughters in between their legs in the school hallway would be allowed to return to school. The parents tell me FCPS is downplaying what happened and is trying to sweep this under the rug. More of my exclusive interviews with some of the parents ⬇️

🚨New: Today, Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity (the lone Republican on the board) asked the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to discuss and revisit their “Trust Policy” which prohibits the police department from working with ICE even after the murder of Stephanie Minter. The nine Democrats on the Board of Supervisors declined to entertain Herrity’s proposal.

What in the world is going on in Fairfax County, Virginia?! Violent people with dozens of arrests still on the streets, criminal illegal aliens being let out of jails and local authorities refusing to honor ICE detainers. @NickMinock has covered it all -->

🚨Exclusive: ICE says they arrested Salvadoran criminal illegal immigrant Jose Navarro Henriquez in Virginia after an 18-month sentence for two convictions for sexually assaulting a child.  ICE says: - Virginia’s Herndon Police Department arrested Navarro on Nov. 2, 2024, for multiple sex crimes involving a child, including carnal knowledge of a child between the ages of 13 and 14, incest with a child, aggravated sexual battery, sexual abuse as a custodian, and solicitation of prostitution from a child.     - The Fairfax County Circuit Court convicted him of two counts of carnal knowledge of a child on Sept. 15, 2025. The judge in his case sentenced him to five years in prison for each count, but ordered that the sentences run concurrently and suspended three years and six months. The other charges — seven in total — were not prosecuted by Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano.

🚨New: The Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement of the U.S. Committee on the Judiciary is inviting Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid to testify at a hearing titled “Fairfax County, Virginia: The Dangerous Consequences of Sanctuary Policies” on April 15, 2026. “The hearing will examine how state and local policies that prohibit cooperation with federal immigration authorities hurt public safety. Your testimony will assist the Committee and Subcommittee in developing legislative reforms to address sanctuary jurisdictions.“ The hearing was scheduled after the murder of Stephanie Minter in Fairfax County.  Minter's alleged killer is Abdul Jalloh, an illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal history. Kincaid is refusing to honor ICE's detainer on Jalloh.  Meanwhile, Descano's policy takes immigration consequences into account in criminal prosecutions.  Descano's office has dropped almost every charge against Jalloh that came across their desk, allowing him to walk free time after time before Minter's murder. The committee members previously sent letters to Descano and Kincaid: wjla.com/news/local/hou…

🚨WATCH: Long before Stephanie Minter’s murder, police told Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office three separate times about how dangerous illegal immigrant Abdul Jalloh is, even warning that if Jalloh was released again, he could kill someone. But did police share those same concerns with ICE? They did not, because Fairfax County police sources told me they can’t - even in situations like this - because of a policy the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors dubbed the “Trust Policy.” Days after Stephanie’s murder, Fairfax County Chairman Jeff McKay defended his policy that bans Fairfax County police from working with ICE.

🚨New: DHS says illegal immigrant Angel David Rubio Marin was arrested by the Culpeper Police Department in Virginia and charged with soliciting sexual content from children under ten years old. “This sicko preyed on innocent children by offering to pay them in a video game currency in exchange for child pornography,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This illegal alien was RELEASED from jail after an arrest for public masturbation. This case is a perfect example of why we need state and local cooperation with ICE. We are calling on Virginia sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing this child predator back into Virgina neighborhoods. No one wants this pedophile loose on American streets.” DHS says the 20-year-old was previously arrested by local police in Prince William County and charged with two counts of public masturbation in 2024, and that “he was released from jail back into Virginia neighborhoods to commit more sex crimes against children.”
