  Gov. Glenn Youngkin called for a ban on "sanctuary cities" and says localities implementing such practices would lose state funding.

Governor Glenn Youngkin of Virginia has called for a ban on sanctuary cities within the state, arguing that they undermine federal immigration law and pose safety risks. During a speech at the Virginia Military Institute, Youngkin emphasized the need for local law enforcement to cooperate fully with federal immigration authorities. He criticized sanctuary policies for potentially allowing undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds to remain in communities, thereby endangering public safety. This push comes amidst broader national debates on immigration policy, with Youngkin's stance aligning with those advocating for stricter immigration enforcement. His proposal would require local jurisdictions to comply with ICE detainers, effectively ending sanctuary city practices in Virginia.
