Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin will introduce a budget proposal banning “sanctuary cities” in his state, along with ensuring tax money will not go to counties or independent cities that aren’t complying with ICE.
The proposal will require local police and corrections officers to fulfill Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests for criminal illegal immigrants and notify the federal government within two days of releasing any such person who matriculates through the justice system.
Additionally, any municipality that identifies as a sanctuary city or enacts similar policies will have state funding typically allocated toward supporting their police departments withheld by Richmond.
