>>Virginia Gov. Youngkin Plans To Pushes For Sanctuary Cities To Comply With ICE
(Richmond, VA) -- Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin plans to introduce a budget proposal that would ban sanctuary cities in the state and ensure that tax money does not go to jurisdictions that do not comply with ICE. Katie Gray reports.Preview: SCRIPT:
The proposal would require local law enforcement to fulfill ICE detainer requests for criminal illegal immigrants and notify the federal government promptly. Youngkin aims to withhold state funding from municipalities that identify as sanctuary cities or enact similar policies. The move comes in response to recent violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants in Virginia, including the sexual assault of a jogger in Herndon. WRIC reports that critics have pointed to Fairfax County's sanctuary-type policies as contributing to such incidents.
