Governor Ralph Northam vetoed bills set to curb the creation of sanctuary cities in Virginia and require correctional facilities officials to notify federal immigration authorities when undocumented immigrants are released from custody.
As transnational gangs like MS-13 continue to plague the Northern Virginia area with horrific crimes, it is not legislation like banning sanctuary cities that “have negative impacts on public safety,” which Governor Northam says, but the fact that there are none.
“It has been one of the highest honors of my life to serve the citizens of the Commonwealth. I want to thank the citizens of Virginia Beach and Norfolk for giving me that privilege,” Wagner said.
Bucking Governor Ralph Northam’s progressive gun control package, Virginia’s Republican-controlled State Senate passes a measure to repeal the ban on carrying firearms in church and other places of worship.
