US EditionICE detains multiple people at Chesterfield courthouse
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apprehended 14 people during multiple days last week while they were attending court sessions at the Chesterfield County courthouse.
- The operation focused on individuals identified by ICE as unauthorized immigrants, and Sheriff Karl Leonard was informed with only about an hour’s notice prior to the actions taken on Tuesday.
- None of the detainees were in custody when arrested; the arrests took place following their court appearances for various misdemeanor and felony charges, with Leonard emphasizing that the individuals were coming directly from the community.
- Governor Glenn Youngkin supported the arrests as part of a statewide effort to remove violent offenders illegally in Virginia, while Delegate Mike Jones called the actions a disregard for judicial integrity.
- The operation sparked mixed reactions, with concerns that courthouse arrests may disrupt judicial processes and discourage immigrant participation in the legal system.
