From Uriah Kiser at the Virginia Insider:

Virginians woke up to news of ICE and Greene County deputies rounding up illegal criminal immigrants near Charlottesville – and the left is losing it.

Abandoned cars lined rural roads after the operation, proving enforcement is happening even under [Governor Abigail] Spanberger’s restrictions.

Sheriff Steven Smith didn’t mince words: he doesn’t answer to the governor when it comes to working with ICE. Elected sheriffs serve the people, not Richmond.

Enter Charlottesville attorney Andrew Young – a land use and environmental lawyer, not a criminal or immigration specialist – who rushed to the scene, offered representation, and allegedly had multiple firearms in his car. Officers drew weapons during his traffic stop. Young claimed it was about due process. Critics see it as classic obstruction from the Charlottesville bubble.

This mirrors dangerous incidents elsewhere where activists have confronted federal agents.

Meanwhile, Virginia families still mourn victims like Stephanie Minter, killed by an illegal immigrant with a lengthy record.

How many more Virginians have to pay the price before common sense returns?

Local sheriffs stepping up is exactly what voters demanded. What do you think – should Virginia law enforcement ignore the governor on immigration enforcement? View the full report here.
