Arlington officials just made a dangerous move that puts every family at risk. Their county board voted to stop police from telling ICE about illegal immigrants arrested for terrorism, gang violence, and human trafficking. This reckless decision lets violent criminals stay on our streets instead of being deported.
Virginia’s Attorney General Jason Miyares blasted the policy as pure negligence. He said blocking ICE alerts helps MS-13 gang thugs and human traffickers while making neighborhoods less safe. Miyares warned this isn’t compassion—it’s putting illegal criminals above hardworking Americans.
Governor Glenn Youngkin is fighting back by cutting state funds to sanctuary cities like Arlington. Taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for policies that endanger citizens. This showdown highlights how liberal leaders care more about political correctness than protecting families.
The County Board erased rules letting police contact ICE about dangerous illegals. Gone are protections against terrorists and gang members. Now officers’ hands are tied even if they arrest murderers or rapists here illegally.
Immigrant activists pushed hard for this change, claiming it builds “trust.” But real trust comes from stopping violent crime, not hiding criminals. These radicals want open borders and lawlessness, not safe communities.
Arlington had sensible rules since 2022 allowing ICE alerts for the worst offenders. Liberals trashed those safeguards to please their far-left base. Now every parent must wonder if their kid’s school is near a protected criminal.
This policy isn’t just wrong—it’s deadly. MS-13 recruits in our schools while traffickers exploit women. Police could once stop these predators. Now woke politicians forbid them from doing their jobs.
Americans deserve safety, not surrender to the border crisis. Virginia patriots must demand leaders reverse this madness. It’s time to put America first, protect our borders, and jail criminals—not coddle them.
