Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., is calling on prosecutors to try, convict and punish the undocumented killer of Stephanie Minter, arguing that he must face American justice before he\u2019s ordered to leave the country.<\/p>\n

Kaine said he fears deportation could be a form of leniency.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not sure that if he\u2019s deported, [that] he will really face the punishment that he should face. If you do a deportation now, what\u2019s the guarantee he would really face severe consequences for what he\u2019s done?” Kaine said.<\/p>\n

“I think he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then possibly deported after that, but I wouldn\u2019t want him to escape accountability for the crime.”<\/p>\n

Authorities are charging Abdul Jalloh, a 32-year-old Sierra Leone native, with the murder of Stephanie Minter after authorities found her dead at a bus stop in Fairfax, Virginia last month.<\/p>\n

Jalloh had already been arrested more than 30 times before his fatal confrontation with Minter, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Among others, his previous charges included rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing and more.<\/p>\n

Local authorities dropped previous charges against Jalloh, allowing him to walk free.<\/p>\n

Kaine believes this time should be different.<\/p>\n

“I think he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then possibly deported after that,” Kaine said.<\/p>\n

Jalloh has been charged with second-degree murder.<\/p>\n

Even as questions remain about why Virginia authorities let Jalloh go, Kaine, who served as governor of Virginia from 2006 to 2010, posited that ICE may have failed to follow through on requests to detain Jalloh ahead of Minter\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

“My experience when I was governor \u2014 and this is now 15 or 20 years ago \u2014 is that we would normally let ICE know before we let anybody out of prison in Virginia, and then they wouldn\u2019t show up,” Kaine said.<\/p>\n

“We would give them two weeks’ notice [and say] \u2018Hey, here\u2019s somebody who\u2019s here, come pick them up,\u2019 and they wouldn\u2019t show up. That was more my experience.”<\/p>\n
