An Open Letter
To: Gov. Youngkin
From: A constituent in Arlington, VA
January 26
Governor Spanberger's Executive Order No. 10 does NOT end the actual collaboration. As of today. Virginia State Police and VA Dept. of Corrections still have active agreements with ICE. A spokesperson for the governor has declined to comment on when or if she will cancel the agreements.
Migrant justice organizations demand a complete end to Virginia partnerships with ICE enacted through 287(g) MOUs.
We demand that Governor Spanberger:
Direct Virginia State Police to end its 287(g) Task Force Model Memorandum of Understanding with ICE
Direct Virginia Department of Corrections to end its 287(g) Jail Enforcement Model MOU with ICE
Ensure that all Virginia state agencies end collaboration with ICE including identifying people, information sharing, use of facilities, training, or any other cooperation to target migrant communities in Virginia
