HB 481 not only requires law enforcement to maintain custody of a criminal alien if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issues a detainer, it also takes the important step of compensating any person injured by a criminal alien released in violation of its provisions.
- The Senate passed Senate Bill 270 (SB 270). SB 270 prohibits localities from enacting any ordinance, procedure, or policy that restricts the enforcement of federal immigration law, and strips funding from any locality that nonetheless adopts a sanctuary policy.
- Furthering the public safety and welfare of Virginia residents and visitors;
- Fighting illegal immigration by eliminating the attraction for illegal aliens to come to Virginia;
