Newsom-Appointed Judge Releases Criminal Illegal Alien Who Murders U.S. Citizen 24 Hours Later

As long as Democrats have power, illegal aliens will murder Americans every day. The fake news ignores it all.

Contra Costa Superior Court Judge Nichelle Holmes (appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2024) ordered Marcos Iriarte-Valdez, 36, released on his own recognizance on August 5, 2026. This followed his arrest the day before for allegedly violating home-detention terms while on pretrial release for residential burglary charges (Orinda, April 2026, involving occupied homes).

The next day (August 6), Iriarte-Valdez fatally stabbed 68-year-old Todd Stewart during an attempted burglary at Stewart’s Martinez home. He was arrested days later, charged with special-circumstance murder (while fleeing a burglary), and has been held without bail after pleading not guilty. DHS has identified him as a Venezuelan illegal alien who had been in the U.S. since around 2007, with a prior criminal record including burglaries and other offenses. California’s sanctuary policies limited ICE cooperation.
