MASS DEPORTATIONS - Take Action!

There is no federal legal obligation for local jurisdictions to use their resources to help with immigration enforcement.

MASS DEPORTATIONS

Contrary to what most people think: There is no federal legal obligation for local jurisdictions to use their resources to help with immigration enforcement.*

But police and sheriff’s departments often voluntarily assist ICE, despite the fact most states (including Virginia) have no laws requiring compliance. “Over the last decade, 70-75% of ICE arrests in the interior of the US have been handoffs from another law enforcement agency, be it a local or state jail or federal prison."*

What you can do:

Let everyone know we are not required to help ICE deport our community members.

★ Tell friends and family.
★ Post on social media
