#Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain. For Now.

“Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for #ICE.”

carbon offsets are BS ☕️🥬

#Virginia #Democrats are determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with this new #guncontrol #bill. Do I have any liberal gun owners here? Please contact your reps to register your opposition.

This would normally be a political loser but NOW? After these ICE murders they want me to give them up? The fuck?

Anyone seeing a change from sleet to freezing rain? #RVA #Virginia #VAwx

DMV Weather :vaflag: :mdflag:

@rvaweather@dmv.community · 2 weeks ago

All sleet now south of about Fredericksburg, Tappahannock, over to Staunton; still mostly snow north of that line. Sleet will hang around through early or mid-afternoon before freezing rain starts to enter the picture from south to north. Checking VDOT cameras, even interstates are pretty well covered up. #RVA #Virginia #VAwx #Maryland #MDwx #DC #DCwx

"Trump’s endless empowerment of federal immigration agents has resulted in yet another senseless killing. This brutal crackdown has to end.

I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities." -- Sen. Mark Warner. #Virginia
