The Bizarro World of Sanctuary Jurisdictions: Fairfax County, Virginia
By Pawel Styrna October 3, 2019
A police officer in Fairfax County, Virginia was suspended this week for (drumroll, please) … assisting the federal government in enforcing our nation’s immigration law. The county has been a “sanctuary†jurisdiction since May 2018 – which means that it severely limits its cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Like the almost 600 other sanctuary jurisdictions in the nation, Fairfax County has chosen to undermine federal immigration enforcement at the expense of its law-abiding citizens.
Following a public outcry – including stinging rebukes from acting ICE director Matthew T. Albence and former acting ICE director Tom Homan – the Fairfax County Police Chief cancelled the affected officer’s suspension and restored him to his duties. The Northern Virginia county, which neighbors the nation’s capital, nevertheless remains a “sanctuary†for illegal aliens.By Pawel
