ICE’s Struggle with Sanctuary Cities in Virginia Detailed in New Report

[Photo: Sfnewsfeed.us on Facebook]
Several Virginia locales, including Occoquan, Dumfries, Haymarket, Manassas, Manassas Park, and Quantico, are now classified as sanctuary jurisdictions, according to a recent update from the Center for Immigration Studies. This classification follows the center’s review of data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The information was disclosed in the latest episode of the Parsing Immigration Policy podcast, which accompanies the release of the updated sanctuary jurisdiction map.

Sanctuary jurisdictions typically have regulations that limit cooperation with ICE, impacting the enforcement of immigration laws. These measures may include refusing ICE detainers, restricting agency interactions with ICE, or hindering the sharing of information about incarcerated aliens.

ICE uses detainers as a key mechanism to detain aliens involved in criminal activities, ensuring their custody transfer for deportation. These detainers provide details about the individual’s criminal and immigration history, highlighting their public safety or security risk.
