We warned @FairfaxCountyPD & @JeffreyCMcKay that their new General Order 604 allowing officers to act as ICE informants was going to lead to more deportations. Coincidence that ICE arrests here are at highest level ever? We think not. https://t.co/doO4gBjxq7

@LouRivers20 @DelegateCallsen And you believe everything he says? If you look at the data, which we get and track monthly, the percentage is .1%. That is to say, 6 charges out of 4,150.

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

Del Helmer, your support was essential to community safety and protecting law abiding immigrants. Thank you!

[Del. Dan Helmer @DelDanHelmer]

What’s happening with ICE right now is un-American. Proud to champion several bills yesterday that allow us to keep our communities safe.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

Ah yes, because shoplifting is such a violent crime that they should be deported without due process. Let us remember that 80% of undocumented immigrants have lived in the US longer than 10 years. https://t.co/4EAkmMCiDB.

An undocumented couple was arrested for shoplifting $160 worth of merchandise -- and local police handed them over to ICE.

It's one of the first applications of the Laken Riley Act in New York state.

Not into military parades? Neither is the Pope. Holding a live stream event at the same time. Expect many of you will be busy on June 14, but event will be on facebook for your viewing pleasure. #resistance https://t.co/2HtUUBdKYp

Rep. Maxine Waters confronts National Guard troops in Los Angeles. @POTUS is meanwhile urging violence against protestors. This is what American looks like under Trump. https://t.co/g2nyVbGK5P

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

#KilmarAbregoGarcia is back! But jailed for alleged crimes never mentioned before. Why is this touted (@msnbc) as the "rule of law" working? Tragically, this "is what American justice looks like" (AG Bondi) Any real evidence would have been shouted from the roofstops before.

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

This is what America looks like, both the very bad and the very good. #RESISTANCE .

Free press at work.

[Arya Sundaram @arya_sundaram]

U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and NY Gov. Kathy Hochul respond to my reporting (on @Gothamist @WNYC) about a congressional staffer being handcuffed by DHS police.

Non-violent resistance works.

THIS is how you stop 🧊

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

@DHS says they DON"T need a warrant to enter private office space of @RepJerryNadler. Accused them of harboring rioters when staffers invited peaceful advocates into their conference room. Nadler: they are "behaving like fascists... We have to fight them."

[Arya Sundaram @arya_sundaram]

U.S. Department of Homeland Security police HANDCUFFED a congressional staffer for @RepJerryNadler in his office.

DHS officers claim in a video that she was "harboring rioters" and pushed an officer.

But witnesses present deny the DHS narrative.

Kudos to Arlington Co. for scaling back cooperation with ICE, recognizing the fear instilled in the immigrant community. It is sad that @FairfaxCountyPD is moving in the opposite direction. @JeffreyCMcKay https://t.co/dAax69504c

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

We join @FairfaxNAACP in condeming FCPD for unilateral release of foot pursuit policy despite promises to collaborate w/ One Fairfax Roundtable. Worse, the policy requires officers to engage in this inherently dangerous practice no matter how small the offense. Harmful to all.

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

Trump enjoined from withholding federal funds to 16 localities across the nation that don't volunarily help ICE. Supporters of FFX Trust Policy need to stand strong too, don't appease. @JeffreyCMcKay https://t.co/CmTgiI40qr

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

Thank you @ACLU for preventing #ICE from sneaking out scores of immigrants to El Salvador w/o due process. And amazed that SCOTUS sided with you. This authoritarian regime that must be stopped. Scary that we have to rely on this Court. @ACLUVA

Made for TV to create fear: #ICEraid in Arlington, w/ #KristiNoem in flax jacket, ATF & FBI to arrest 1 man with sexual battery conviction. But...law abiding Uncle at house faces deportation too. The 2 kids? Oh well. #familyseparation is cruel & will cost US more in the end.

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

So much for the rule of law. @GovernorVA wants local police to round up & deport immigrants--most never found guilty of any crime--yet commutes sentence of White police officer found guilty of killing a Black man. Perhaps the law depends on the color of your skin? @FairfaxNAACP

[Fairfax DA Steve Descano @FairfaxCountyCA]

A short while ago, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin commuted the sentence of former Sgt. Wesley Shifflett, who was sentenced to 3 years of incarceration on Friday.

"I'm outraged at Youngkin's decision tonight," said CA Descano.

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

We stand w/ @VA_Immigrants & @ACLUVA in opposing @GovernorVA Exec Order deputizing VA prison guards/state police as ICE agents. The xenophobic targeting of hard-working immigrants creates fear and will make us all less safe. Crime is lower when police don't cooperate w/ ICE.

[ACLU People Power Fairfax @PeoplePowerFfx]

Trump promised to prioritize the “worst first” when it comes to ICE arrests/deportations, but 41% of the 4,422 total new detainees in 1st 2 weeks of Feb had no convictions or even pending charges. Compare to Biden's FY 2024, where it was 28%, tho still too high @VA_Immigrants
