Raids -- "a series of targeted enforcement operations," and maintains it's no different from what ICE has done "for many years." Critics call it a series of nationwide raids — and claim it's the first step toward President Donald Trump fulfilling his promise to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants.

Catch and Release -- Catch and release is the unofficial name for a protocol historically followed by immigration enforcement agencies in the United States (specifically, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection) where people caught for being in unlawful immigration status are released while they wait for a hearing with an immigration judge.

The National Origins Formula was an American system of immigration quotas, between 1921 and 1965, which restricted immigration on the basis of existing proportions of the population. It aimed to reduce the overall number of unskilled immigrants, to allow families to re-unite, and to prevent immigration from changing the ethnic distribution of the population.

SENATE BILL NO. 1262: Yeas 4, Nays 3

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: 11 1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 15.2 - 1409.1 as follows: 12 § 15.2 - 1409.1. Liability of sanctuary cities for certain injuries and damages. 13 A sanctuary city shall be jointly and severally liable for the tortious injury to persons or property 14 caused by an illegal alien within such locality.

Sanctuary City Status

 

Official statement on Fairfax county Website: Feb. 24, 2017

 

Fairfax County is not a Sanctuary County or Sanctuary City.

It is important to note that the term "sanctuary county" or (more commonly) "sanctuary city" is not a legal term, and therefore the term means different things to different people. Generally, the term sanctuary city is given to cities in the United States or Canada that have policies designed to shelter illegal immigrants. The term generally applies to cities that do not allow municipal funds or resources to be used to enforce federal immigration laws, usually by not allowing police or municipal employees to inquire about an individual's immigration status.

 

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has not designated Fairfax County as a sanctuary county. In fact, a review shows no indication that the board has taken any action that could be interpreted as making Fairfax County a sanctuary county. County agencies and officials strive to comply with all federal requirements to determine an individual's immigration status.
