Spanberger dodges questions on whether she would reverse sanctuary policy as DHS turns up heat

RICHMOND, VA — Virginia's Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger on Tuesday ignored questions on whether she would entertain calls from the Department of Homeland Security to end sanctuary policies in the state.

"Governor Spanberger must end her sanctuary policies that allow these illegal aliens onto our streets and work with DHS to protect the citizens of the commonwealth," the agency said in a post to social media.

Virginia — and in particular Fairfax County — has made headlines in recent weeks for a string of deadly attacks carried out by illegal aliens.

Earlier this month, authorities charged 28-year-old Guatemala native Misael Lopez Gomez with the murder of his 3-month-old daughter. His arrest comes on the heels of an attack by Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, 38, another Guatemalan charged with fatally stabbing a man in his home. The county was also where repeat offender and Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh, 32, stabbed a victim to death at a bus stop in February.

DHS noted that three of the four suspects charged with murders in Fairfax County so far in 2026 are illegal aliens.

Spanberger did not comment on the figure.

At the beginning of her term, Spanberger joined a handful of Democratic governors like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker who have made it harder for local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts.

On Jan. 17, Spanberger rescinded local-federal coordination requirements, arguing that Virginia’s resources would be better spent enforcing its own laws.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Abigail needs all the illegals she can get. She just can't say so.

The woman is a moral coward. When she could’t answer Winsome Earle-Sears about Jay Jones, we saw what she was made of.

With her love of other people’s money, I’ll bet she would make a better hooker than a governor. Come on Virginia. WAKE THE .... UP!!!

She has gone so far left, and if she continues to go radical nutcase left, she will be a democratic Presidential candidate sometime in the future,

Spanberger is not going to go against democrat party policies. All socialist democrats are in lockstep with liberal theology to destroy the country. It will only get worse for Virginians.
