Tell Gov. Spanberger: Sign legislation to block Virginia law enforcement from working for ICE

The message:

Virginia lawmakers delivered legislation to Governor Spanberger's desk to block Virginia law enforcement from working for ICE – but unless Governor Spanberger signs it as written, Virginia won't have those guardrails.

This critical legislation provides crucial safeguards against the Trump administration's cruel anti-immigrant agenda and protects all Virginians against ICE's lawless, heartless actions that terrorize our communities.

ICE is going too far: polling shows even people who voted in favor of tough immigration enforcement agree.

Tell Governor Spanberger: keep Virginia's state and local resources, including law enforcement, focused on Virginia – not the Trump administration's anti-immigrant agenda – by signing the legislation as written.

Your Message

Subject Stop Virginia law enforcement from doing ICE's job.

As your constituent, I am asking you to sign legislation that will protect state and local law enforcement participation from being co-opted into carrying out federal civil immigration enforcement, and protect access to Virginia courts and other sensitive locations by prohibiting arrests without a judicial warrant. These bills - HB1441 (Lopez) / SB 783 (Salim) and HB650 (Callsen) / SB351 (Salim) - are crucial safeguards against the Trump administration's cruel, violent, and lawless anti-immigrant agenda, and I urge you to sign them without making any additional amendments that would water down this critically important legislation.

Message Body

Putting state and local resources into doing ICE's job would lead to more fear, more families shattered, crime victims terrified to seek help, and more lives lost to senseless violence.

We need political courage now more than ever. I urge you, our governor, to stand up for our immigrant neighbors and for all of us by signing SB 783 (Salim) / HB 1441 (Lopez) and HB 660 (Callsen) / SB 351 (Salim) into law without amendments.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
