Virginia ends state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement program.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has ended the state’s participation in the federal 287(g) program, terminating agreements that allowed state law enforcement to assist ICE with immigration enforcement.
The move, effective immediately, reverses a prior directive from former Governor Glenn Youngkin and applies to the Virginia State Police, Department of Corrections, and other agencies.
Spanberger cited concerns over federal overreach, community trust, and state autonomy, emphasizing that local police should focus on public safety under state authority.
