Virginia county prohibits voluntary information-sharing with ICE

Virginia county prohibits voluntary information-sharing with ICE
The policy will 'reassert what the role of local government is,' Fairfax BOS Chairman Jeffrey McKay said
By Audrey Conklin | Fox News

 

Fairfax County, Virginia officer suspended for alerting ICE

Authorities say the unnamed officer violated policy by alerting ICE about a man who was wanted for missing his deportation hearing; Garrett Tenney reports from Fairfax, Virginia.

The Fairfax County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors this week voted to prohibit federal employees, including police, from voluntarily sharing information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The county is the first in the state to implement such a policy called the Public Trust and Confidentiality Policy, according to Fairfax BOS Chairman Jeffrey McKay, who said during a Tuesday board meeting that the hopes the rule will be a "model used throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and other states, as well."

The Trust Policy will "reassert what the role of local government is and the desire we have as a community to assist all people and to allow all people to come forward with the confidence that" Fairfax County is working "with them and not against them," McKay said.

Neither ICE nor McKay immediately responded to inquiries from Fox News.

Can we please put a stop to all federal dollars flowing into Fairfax County?  No federal jobs.  No federal paychecks.  No federal rents.  No food stamps.  No AFDC.  No EITCs.  No Social Security payments.  No federal dollars for education.  No federal grants for anything.

If they want to sever ties with the federal government, then let's sever ties.

So ICE needs to set up an anonymous tip line to let the police do their job...

...or...the police tells some concerned citizen and the concerned citizen forwards the info on to ICE, and thus the cops haven't violated the illegal gag order.

Why does a County BOS have the authority to order Federal employees about?

They don't.

What difference does that make when there are no rules any more?
