Virginia Dem admits system failure after illegal immigrant accused in landlord killing escapes to Tajikistan
Northern Virginia Democrats faced questions about how a Tajik national committed to a psychiatric facility after killing his landlord was twice allowed to leave — once to obtain a passport and once to visit an apartment — before escaping to Tajikistan.Abdulloi Doniyor Toshpulodzoda had been held at a mental health facility in Falls Church, Virginia, after being found not guilty by reason of insanity in the killing of his landlord but was allowed an escorted visit to the Tajik embassy in Foggy Bottom, DC, and later to an Alexandria apartment, where he obtained an airline ticket to Dushanbe and left the country."I don't know about investigation, but certainly it's a bad thing that he's not in our custody, not being subject to the laws of the United States," Rep.Donald Beyer, D-Va., told Fox News Digital when asked if federal authorities should investigate the situation.ACCUSED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT MURDERER WHO FLED US DURING 48-HOUR PASS HAD ACCESS TO TAXPAYER-FUNDED APARTMENTA Fairfax County police officer works near the scene of a fatal stabbing in the Great Falls area of Virginia on Aug.

I don't know whether it's failure to put [Toshpulodzoda] in the mental hospital or the hospital didn't have the right security to keep them there.But no, we don't want bad guys on the loose," Beyer said.
His district includes Alexandria, Arlington and part of Fairfax County, including the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute, where Toshpulodzoda was housed.Beyer pushed back on criticism of Fairfax County, saying he does not believe local leaders would consider it a "sanctuary" jurisdiction for illegal immigrants.He also said he presumed Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano was justified in having Toshpulodzoda committed to the psychiatric facility.DOJ OPENS INVESTIGATION INTO SOROS-BACKED DA ACCUSED OF SHIELDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM CONSEQUENCESBeyer also pushed back on arguments...
