Immigration enforcement is a core federal power. Under Article I of the Constitution, Congress has a duty to write our federal immigration laws. Under Article II, the President has a duty to implement it. States cannot interfere and certainly cannot oppose it. Unfortunately, many Democratic states, especially Virginia, are on a deadly collision course with the federal government.
American voters gave President Trump and the Republican-led Congress a broad electoral mandate to reverse the disaster that the Biden-Harris border policy caused in every state in America through the massive importation of as many as 20 million illegal aliens, including the worst of the worst in the world.
Activist judges and other Democratic politicians and election deniers have done everything they can fathom to thwart Trump’s constitutional duty to deport these dangerous illegal aliens.
The latest example is Virginia, which is passing a series of unconstitutional laws that would dangerously and illegally hinder ICE. These proposals include criminal penalties, meaning that state law enforcement officers would attempt to arrest and jail ICE agents for simply doing their job.
This effort is seditious, insurrectionary, extremely dangerous, and downright unconstitutional. For the sake of the Republic, the Department of Justice must immediately and aggressively suppress this seditious conspiracy in Virginia.

Fairfax County District Attorney Steve Descano is Soros’s puppet Democratic prosecutor in suburban DC, a very wealthy Democratic enclave that is an albatross around Virginia’s neck. Abdul Jalloh is an illegal alien who invaded our country in 2012. Jalloh settled in Virginia and began wreaking havoc among the good citizens there, resulting in as many as thirty arrests. This included one charge of rape and four charges of stabbing Americans.
Yet it is thanks to the deliberate incompetence of Fairfax County’s democratic regimeJalloh had only one misdemeanor conviction. He violated his probation, spent three months in jail and was released due to a deal between his attorney and Descano’s office. Sanctuary jurisdictions like Fairfax County do not notify ICE when detaining or releasing illegals like Jalloh, who had a permanent order of removal as of 2020.
Police in Fairfax repeatedly warned Descano’s office via email that Jalloh’s release would endanger the public, but the pleas fell on deaf ears. Earlier this week, Jalloh allegedly stabbed 41-year-old innocent mother Stephanie Minter to death at a bus stop.
Abigail Spanberger, the governor of Virginia, was a moderate Democrat. But after her inauguration this year, she immediately showed her true left-wing character. She issued an order banning cooperation between state officials and ICE.
Several anti-ICE bills await Spanberger’s signature: (1) a ban on ICE arrests in courthouses (where these so-called dangerous criminal illegals pass every day); (2) a ban on ICE arrests within 40 feet of polling places (where illegal aliens violate federal criminal laws by voting); and (3) criminal penalties for ICE agents who wear masks (because they don’t want to be doxxed and killed).

If Spanberger signs these unconstitutional state laws, Trump’s Justice Department should immediately file a lawsuit and attempt to sue them in court. A Virginia federal judge should issue an injunction, following the lead of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which fully upheld California’s unconstitutional ban on the use of masks by ICE agents.
But civil enforcement is not enough. Virginia Democrat officials who scheme to arrest ICE agents for doing their jobs (seditious conspiracy under 18 USC § 2384) – and especially those who cause the arrests (insurrection under 18 USC § 2383, assault, kidnapping, harboring, conspiracy and more) – should go to federal prison for their serious federal crimes. If anyone is killed in a deadly confrontation between these new Virginia allies and ICE, these Virginia Democrat officials should be charged with murder.

Former President Biden and his missing border czar Kamala Harris allowed millions of illegal immigrants, including the world’s most violent and dangerous criminals, to cross our borders. Trump is doing everything he can to fulfill his broad electoral mandate and undo the damage by arresting and deporting these illegal immigrants.
Virginia’s proposed laws not only ban communications between state officials and ICE; instead, they criminalize federal law enforcement actions that clearly fall within the scope of federal immigration enforcement.

States do not have to assist ICE by, for example, providing law enforcement resources to assist in ICE’s apprehension of illegal aliens. But states certainly cannot undermine or hinder these federal efforts. This is especially true of Virginia’s attempt to arrest ICE agents while on duty, which could justify their use of deadly force.

Virginia’s attempt to undermine and obstruct federal law must fail. We fought the Civil War because the Confederacy, headquartered in Virginia, attempted to nullify federal law regarding slavery. Today’s Virginia Democrats are returning to their Confederate roots.
Just as the federal government did during the Civil War and the century that followed, when segregationist states continued their efforts to nullify federal law, the federal government must now stand strong against Virginia’s sedition and insurrection. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes it clear that federal law is supreme in areas where the federal government has authority.
If Virginia gets away with effectively nullifying federal immigration enforcement, other states can nullify any other federal law it finds distasteful. Let’s hope Abigail Spanberger comes to her senses and vetoes this madness. If it does not, the federal government must use every tool at its disposal, including the Insurrection Act of 1807 and other federal criminal laws, to preserve federal law.
Virginia state officials should go to federal prison for involvement in seditious conspiracy, insurrection and other very serious federal crimes. Anything less would threaten the survival of the Republic.
