The government of Arlington County, Virginia, just across the river from Washington D.C., is moving to put even more restrictions on police from working with federal immigration authorities.
The Democrat County board members are moving to prevent police from working with ICE during local arrests by eliminating a section of the county’s Trust Policy, according to ARLNow News.
Board member JD Spain, Sr., in particular, is pushing to eliminate the provisions in Section 7 that allow local police to inform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they take illegal aliens into custody.
Advocates have been working to prevent police from informing ICE when they arrest aliens accused of terror ties, or are gang members, or are otherwise deemed to be threats to public safety. The activists are seeking to protect aliens in these classes.
Local Arlington resident Audrey Clement blasted the elimination of Section 7, calling the move a danger to the community, saying, “Repeal of Section 7 will release criminal aliens … to continue their life of crime on Arlington streets.”
If Section 7 is cancelled, it will be just another move toward giving cover to criminal illegals that started as far back as 2022 among county board members, when the board voted unanimously to restrict ICE access to criminal illegals in the county.
These people are the reason we can’t have anything nice.
It’s just to bad that the federal government can’t withhold state funding until the governor of that state
ropes in these rogue towns and cities that refuses to cooperate with ICE and DHS.
Blocking legal law is illegal, right?
Illegal = against the law. Spain Jr, breaking the law – gettem Attorney General. Breaking the law = arrested. I don’t care for excuses. Don’t break the law.
