Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has already scrapped an executive order from former Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin that furthered state law enforcement’s collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, saying it was “not an appropriate use of state or local resources.”
Spanberger, who was sworn in on Saturday as Virginia’s first female governor, issued a superseding executive order that canceled Youngkin’s directive. Youngkin issued his order last year to “improve the safety of all Virginians by maximizing our collaboration with the federal government to enforce immigration law” in the state and use “all available methods to facilitate the arrest and deportation of inadmissible and removable criminal illegal immigrants.”

The move comes as Spanberger has signaled resisting the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation agenda will be a focus of hers while in the governor’s mansion.
