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.
If both houses of Congress initially approve the measure, it is unlikely they will be able to garner the two-thirds majorities in each chamber to override President Trump’s inevitable first-ever veto.
For example, at Virginia Commonwealth University, DACA recipients living in Virginia would only have to pay $14,490 in tuition and fees, much less than the $35,798 price tag for out-of-state students.
The Central American migrant “caravan” arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border over the weekend after a month-long journey from Honduras, through Mexico, leading to 11 arrests and charges filed by the DOJ.
After Governor Northam struck down a measure that would have prohibited the establishment of sanctuary cities in Virginia, one Republican lawmaker made one last effort to see it through.
