Virginia Police To Assist Feds In Apprehending Illegal Alien Criminals | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin on Thursday ordered the Virginia State Police and Department of Corrections "to support federal immigration enforcement efforts."

    Youngkin signed an executive order requiring the agencies to sign agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement that "will create a State Police Task Force of federally deputized troopers to assist in the identification and apprehension of criminal illegal immigrants who pose a risk to public safety throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia," the governor's office said.

    The executive order said it will serve "as a force multiplier for law enforcement agencies to enforce limited immigration authority with ICE oversight during their routine police duties."

    "In February 2024, an Old Dominion University student was killed in a car crash by an illegal immigrant who previously had multiple run-ins with the law, having previously been ordered deported six years earlier," the order read. "That month, an illegal immigrant sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Campbell County. In November 2024, a woman was attacked and raped by an illegal immigrant from Honduras while hiking along a trail in Herndon. Reports indicate that the man had 29 encounters with the police."

    The executive order, "Keeping Virginians Safe From Dangerous Illegal Immigrants," said that 946 inmates in the Virginia Department of Corrections have an immigration detainer. Ninety percent are violent criminals, 40% are rapists or sexual assailants, and 20% are murderers.

    A "Jail Enforcement Model" will "identify and process removable immigrants who are incarcerated in state or local correction facilities." Virginia prisons' cooperation with ICE will be "proactive," the order said. It adds that it will "request" confirmation of full cooperation with ICE from jails run by counties.

    Youngkin's order also stated "a commitment to public safety demands that the Commonwealth recognize that the nexus between illegal immigration and dangerous criminal activity is real."

    The executive order said the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 created Section 287(g), which permits delegating "specified immigration officer functions" to federally-trained state and local law enforcement. An order from President Trump directs ICE to use such agreements to maximum effect.


    President Donald Trump last week appointed Youngkin to co-chair the bipartisan Council of Governors.

    Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, a Jamaican immigrant who is running to succeed the term-limited Youngkin, said in announcing the move that "we've https://mjpahs.edu.np/ seen too many tragic stories after dangerous criminals in this country illegally were put back on the streets, and this Executive Order will make sure we send them back to where they came from."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.

Understanding that there are two firm positions concerning the Open Border Crises, but many realties regarding its current, and, or projected real impacts to the functioning, sustainability of this Constitutional Republic: What position below best represents what you know to be true regarding this impactful policy?

  The United States' must continue the Executive initiative of Open Borders until a Democratic Congress can codify full Demographic Inclusion by keeping the Biden /Harris Open Borders policy in place.

  Our United States' borders are sovereign just as are our self-governed citizens, where borders must be maintained, monitored and defended, which is the position of core Republicans.

  I am in favor of Open Borders to make my America more of a global community; however, the federal government must now fix problems that "Red State" governors have caused in our cities.

  I do NOT favor the Democratic Socialists' disruption of the cultural fabric of my Representative Republic, and there will be Treasonous Hell to Pay when the certain calamity begins in earnest.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.
