Police Officers and Judge Push Back On Leftist Prosecutor’s Marijuana Sanctuary Policy
A handful of local police officers and the Honorable Mark C. Simmons, a General District Court Judge in Fairfax County, Virginia, pushed back on the progressive prosecutor backed by George Soros, who took office last week.
The neoliberal Steve Descano has spent his first few days in office attempting to effectuate leftist political agenda with powers that he does not legally have. He declared that his lawyers will not prosecute simple marijuana possession crimes, essentially transforming Fairfax County into a marijuana sanctuary while possession continues to remain unlawful under Virginia state law.

Judge Simmons, who has been presiding over marijuana cases since Descano took office, put the prosecutor’s power limitations on full display in his courtroom on Monday. He started by accusing the prosecutor’s office of violating their oath to uphold the laws of Virginia, scolding the leftist prosecutors for attempting to evade their duties.

After a few days of having cases dropped by the prosecutor’s office, Fairfax County police officers began prosecuting marijuana cases on their own, bypassing the involvement of the prosecutor’s office by waiving potential jail time. Judge Simmons allowed the officers to proceed. When the prosecutor’s office attempted to intervene in the middle of one such prosecution, Judge Simmons shut them down.
