Kaine (D) to require state troopers to help federal authorities detain and deport illegal immigrants. The commission's recommendation, one of a series of actions it took Tuesday related to illegal immigration, will put pressure on Kaine and the newly elected Senate Democratic majority to take up an issue that split state lawmakers during the fall campaign and caused local governments such as Prince William County's to enact their own measures.
