Residents in major D.C. suburb demand action over illegal aliens committing violent crimes: ‘Has to change’ | 14 April 2026 | Residents in Fairfax County, Virginia expressed frustrations with a slew of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens in recent months while at the same time voicing skepticism over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. “I’m not team ICE, but I do agree that if you’re out here committing crimes, then you don’t want to be here,” one respondent said, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency at the heart of Trump’s detention and deportation efforts. “So, I think they should leave the people that are just chilling alone, but if you’re out here committing crimes, yeah, you might have to go.” In particular, residents raised alarm about cases like the murder of Stephanie Minter — a woman stabbed to death at a bus stop in February allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien from Sierra Leone — a repeat offender with a lengthy criminal history.
