Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chair Jeff McKay, a Democrat, celebrated a new policy Friday that will cut off all voluntary cooperation and information sharing between local government, including police, and federal immigration authorities. This new policy overarches all other county departments and says all county agencies will not communicate with ICE when people in our community are coming to us for services, McKay said in a press conference simultaneously translated into Spanish. We re the first jurisdiction in Virginia to adopt a Trust Policy. I hope that we re not the last.
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.
