- Spanberger’s ICE actions deepen divide with Virginia Democrats
Governor Abigail Spanberger vetoed two legislative packages targeting federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in Virginia while signing other measures and issuing an executive order on ICE operations, frustrating Democratic lawmakers who view her actions as contradictory. The vetoes included House Bill 1392 and Senate Bill 83, which aimed to address courthouse security and attorney access, with critics arguing the governor misunderstood the legislation and its intent to alleviate fears around immigration enforcement.
