Sears demands recall of Fairfax prosecutor after attempted kidnapping case

"Why is this man still in office? It is time for somebody to do a recall based on a dereliction of duty, and it can be done. If I were to keep telling you how many cases that this man, Steve Descano, has allowed to let go, doesn't honor ICE detainers, puts murderers back in the community, et cetera, et cetera, it's like, what are we doing?" the Republican told Fox News Digital in an interview.

"He is the one who is not protecting the citizens of Fairfax County. And the problem is, these criminals - they don't just stay in Fairfax. They come all the way through Virginia and do their mayhem when he, one man, had the opportunity to do the right thing and keep Virginians safe," she added.

The Democratic commonwealth's attorney is under investigation by Gov. Glenn Youngkin following the viral attempted kidnapping case at Fair Oaks Mall, which is just one of many instances where Descano has released high-profile criminals back into the community.

Sears noted that immigration, and crime tied with it, has also played a major role in her campaign, given the major policy shifts from President Joe Biden to the Trump administration.

"So, as a result of being able to work with President Trump, we've been able to find 500-plus criminally illegal immigrants here in Virginia [...] We found Tren de Aragua here. We have found other international gangs here in Virginia," she said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Spanberger campaign, Descano, and the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office.
