(The Center Square) — With three weeks remaining in Virginia’s 2025 regular legislative session, three Republican-sponsored bills attempting to nullify sanctuary policies in the state have failed in committee.
Tuesday is the last day chambers can consider their own bills.
The bills would have required universal compliance from Virginia correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; an inquiry into immigration status as a matter of course for anyone applying for public assistance through Virginia’s social services; and the reporting to ICE of the immigration status of any juvenile found guilty of a violent juvenile felony.
