Election officials in Virginia say they're concerned about the U.S. Postal Service's likely handling of ballots ahead of the election.Preview: Virginia's attorney general says all local law enforcement agencies in the state should cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Attorney General Jason Miyares issued an opinion yesterday saying Virginia's law enforcement professionals have "a moral duty" to cooperate with lawful federal immigration orders. He added that there is nothing in state law that prevents state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal agencies. He went on to thank sheriffs who already cooperate with agencies like ICE, while saying "shame on you" to those who don't.
A recent incident at an animal shelter is a sign of a disturbing trend. Richmond Animal Care and Control posted on Facebook this week that someone brought a dead puppy to their facility, told them they just paid five-thousand dollars for it, and it was dead of parvo just a week later. RACC Director Christie Chipps Peters says it sounds like this was yet another pup someone bought at a backyard breeder. She says those puppies are usually not vaccinated, and they tend to get sick and die quickly. Chipps Peters says you should see the litter you're buying from plus the mother and father, and vet records. She also tells 12 On Your Side you can adopt from RACC for just a hundred dollars, and all their dogs are vaccinated.
