| Todd Stewart |
California’s revolving door criminal justice system appears to have produced another horrifying result.
Marcos Iriarte-Valdez, a Venezuelan illegal alien with a prior criminal record, was facing burglary charges when a judge in Democratic-majority Contra Costa County released him on his own recognizance, a pledge to return to court when scheduled, much like illegal aliens who came into the country illegally promised to show up in court for immigration purposes. Didn't work then; didn't work with this scumcrumpet, but judges aren't judged for their poor judgment.
Just one day later, he allegedly stabbed 68-year-old retiree Todd Stewart to death during an attempted burglary, prosecutors said.
The Department of Homeland Security is now demanding answers, and it is not being particularly subtle about who it believes should be held accountable.
DHS told media outlet Fox News Digital that it had placed an immigration detainer on Iriarte-Valdez on Sept. 23, 2025. The department said he is from Venezuela and holds Spanish citizenship [and is a horrible human being].
"Valdez is charged with murder, inflicting corporal injury on spouse, three counts of burglary, receiving known stolen property, trespassing, entering non-commercial dwelling, loitering, as well as convicted of violation of court ordered protective order," the department said in a statement.
Then DHS had a message for failed Democratic California Gov. Gavin 'Crazy Hands' Newsom.
"CA Governor Gavin Newsom must not release this murderer from jail and turn him over to us so we can REMOVE him from our nation," the department later tweeted about Iriarte-Valdez.
DHS also took aim at the socialist-inspired sanctuary policies that routinely put immigration enforcement at odds with local authorities.
"Sanctuary politicians must stop putting politics above public safety. This type of insanity leads to more crimes and more innocent victims," DHS said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
That last part is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss as mere political rhetoric when someone accused of serious crimes is released and allegedly kills a man the next day.
Iriarte-Valdez is accused of murdering Stewart, 68, in Martinez during an attempted burglary. Stewart had reportedly lived on his quiet neighborhood street for about 40 years.
According to prosecutors, Stewart encountered Iriarte-Valdez in his garage. The suspect allegedly attempted to flee before stabbing Stewart. Obviously, the POS didn't need to kill him if all he wanted was money or whatever. But this blot of human excrement had to kill the man.
Investigators eventually used automated license plate recognition technology, along with tips from members of the community, to identify and track Iriarte-Valdez.
But the real troubling question is how this guy was on the streets in the first place.
Contra Costa prosecutors had already charged Iriarte-Valdez in connection with alleged burglaries at occupied residences in April. He was on pretrial release in that case when he was arrested Tuesday for allegedly violating a home detention condition.
Then, on Wednesday, the court released him on his own recognizance.
Stewart was killed the following day.

Iriarte-Valdez will probably get what is equivalent to a slap on the hand.
