ICE has requested that Virginia sanctuary jurisdiction authorities detain and transfer a foreign national who allegedly attempted to disarm a police officer in Fairfax County, rather than release him. The request highlights tension between federal immigration enforcement and local jurisdictions with sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with ICE. The case illustrates ongoing disputes over how local police handle immigration enforcement.
