US EditionYoungkin Criticizes County Board for Limiting ACPD Interactions with ICE
- Arlington County Board voted on May 13, 2025, to remove Section 7 from its Trust Policy, banning local police from initiating contact with ICE.
- This decision followed pressure from local advocates and concerns about federal due process erosion, prompting the county to restrict police collaboration with immigration enforcement.
- The change bars police from notifying ICE even in cases involving violent felonies, terrorism, human trafficking, or suspected gang members like MS-13 within Arlington.
- Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin criticized the move as a "dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the oath," while Arlington Chair Takis Karantonis emphasized law enforcement will still respond if crimes occur.
- The vote has intensified debates about public safety versus immigrant trust, drawing bipartisan backlash and signaling likely political discussion in Virginia's 2025 elections.
