Illegal Beheads Iwo Jima Statue in Virginia

BuckWild : Try to get the ones who don't make it so apparent that they are biased. You know, the ones that start out with the lying Trump admin run by the criminal guy who falsely said….. You know, that kind of story.

Judge sets bail at $2,500 to illegal who damaged the monument. It is said it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix the monument. Seems another face was also hit and damaged while bashing the head off. Not sure why a judge would ever release an illegal on bond…..I guess it is done all the time so not the first time.

Atascocita888 : Because the local courts can't hold them for that, only the feds can. If ICE didn't put a detainer on him, it goes the normal route.*Checked it out. He's not going anywhere. ICE detainer and pending federal charges too.*Just because a bond was entered doesn't mean other things aren't holding them in place.

ParksideRes : Again you say something hoping no body will check it out and they just believe you. " The judge had a choice. Virginia law allowed her to deny bond if the legal grounds for detention were met." And those were met so she could have denied bond which was what the prosecutors had asked.

Atascocita888 : Link please. That's for the state felony. I need to see if you read the whole thing or not 🤣§ 19.2-120. Admission to bail.

This does not allow a judge to consider citizenship status for bail. Immigration offenses are 100% Federal territory.He's being held still because of the pending federal charges and an ice detainer. His $2,500 Bond doesn't mean hardly anything. He's still sitting where he should be."It was revealed in court Monday morning that ICE lodged a detainer against Maldonado Soriano."www.potomaclocal.com /2026/10/27/man-accu sed-of-damaging-iwo- jima-memorial-fSince he's in local custody and has Federal charges pending, if he posts any bond then he's immediately transferred to Federal custody. His federal charges are non-immigration as well so they literally have to hand him over without an actual release if he posts bail.Not sure why you would argue with it. You want him in custody and I'm telling you that he's going to stay in custody.

Atascocita888 :
And since you seem to like ChatGPT so much instead of traditional research leg work, here is this:He'll need federal bond too to have any chance to be released. Still unlikely once in Federal custody.

ParksideRes : The above quote is what you first said. That is what I was finding out if that was true. Can the courts not hold him for that. Got it? I found out that was not true. Now you throw in a bunch of other stuff out there and this is where you would throw in the Stretch Armstrong and all your other things you do when you think someone else is doing exactly what you are doing. Got It?

Atascocita888 : And that still stands. The local courts can't hold him just because of his immigration status. Ice has to make that decision and place retainer.His status cannot be used for bond on the state offenses.I don't know why you still can't understand this.Maybe you will eventually.Because he's still not going anywhere

ParksideRes : And I don't know why you can't just admit that you said the judge had no choice on the bond. Is that not what you said? The judge had no choice? Here is the problem you are having. You said " Because the local courts can't hold them for that," There is your problem. You said "for that". You in your brain thought the reason was "illegal". Yes, I pointed out that he was an illegal but that is NOT what I was talking about why the judge had a choice to hold him. He had the choice because of the CRIME he committed and the chance he might not show up for his hearing. " Virginia law allowed her to deny bond if the legal grounds for detention were met.
Virginia Code § 19.2-120 says a judge generally must admit someone to bail unless there is probable cause to believe that the person will fail to appear in court or that their release would pose an unreasonable danger to themselves, their family, or the public. The judge must consider the evidence and other relevant circumstances."
