Spanberger weighs ending ICE partnerships with local law enforcement
Apr 13, 2026 · Franklin County, VA
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger is deciding whether to continue 287(g) agreements that allow local law enforcement to make immigration-related arrests on behalf of ICE. The agreements have drawn criticism from advocacy groups concerned about liability and community trust, while Republican officials argue ending them would compromise public safety. Spanberger has until midnight Monday to make her decision.
