Newly-Minted Dem Governor Abigail Spanberger Immediately Repeals Pro-ICE Order In Virginia
Daily Caller ^ | January 18, 2026 | Jason Hopkins

Posted on 01/18/2026 10:18:27 PM PST by deks

The newest governor of Virginia immediately rolled back anti-sanctuary policy which helped federal immigration authorities take custody of criminal illegal migrants.

Within hours of being sworn into office Saturday, Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed Executive Order 10, a proclamation rescinding an executive order signed by her Republican predecessor requiring Virginia law enforcement officials to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Critics have framed the move as a “disaster” which will lead to an increase in crime.

“This is a disaster for the public safety of the Commonwealth. Mark my words, there will be Virginians who will be robbed, raped and murdered as a result of this anti public safety executive order,” [former Virginia AG] Miyares continued. “No one should be surprised.”

Then-Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, signed Executive Order 47 in February 2025, directing state law enforcement and corrections officials to assist ICE and other federal immigration authorities. The order also pushed localities across Virginia to cooperate with ICE agents during enforcement operations.

The order helped ICE take custody of criminal illegal migrants, according to Youngkin’s administration. [such as identifying people in jail who may be subject to deportation, serving certain administrative immigration warrants on people already in custody, and, in some cases, deputizing officers with limited ICE authority during routine law-enforcement work]

Smart move, listening to her constituency and those who got her elected.

Are you sure you’re on the right website? Bad for Virginians and the United States.

“Mark my words, there will be Virginians who will be robbed, raped and murdered as a result of this anti public safety executive order” — Jason Miyares, former Attorney General of Virginia

Here should be the HONEST Republican message: Yes, we we are weak, BUT THE LEFT WANTS TO KILL YOU. The craziness er they get, the better it is for Republicans.

______________

Ah yes, the fruits of the NWO (New World Order) brought to you by another former operative of the CIA; doing great things for the US of A ever since Bush the elder.

I can hardly wait to hear the 0430 Muslim Call to Prayer wafting through the neighborhoods of my beloved Commonwealth all along the I-95 corridor.

On this forum, we recognize reality. We don’t delude ourselves.

Spamburger is doing EXACTLY what the idiots who voted for her want her to do. She’s following through on campaign promises.

Spamburger is what we get when we don’t vote for Republicans because they’re “not good candidates”, they “aren’t Trump”, they “aren’t MAGA”, or whatever other idiotic excuses people come up with.

The alternative to a mediocre Republican is a dedicated communist running as a democRAT.

Vote accordingly ... or suffer the consequences.

That appears to be the truth. It's certainly what they voted for.

Like Barack Hussein Obama, the Godless Globalists WANT chaos in America and other countries around the world 🌎🌍🌏

They constantly push for it.

The Lt. Gov. was sworn in on the Quran ... the camel's nose is in the tent. As for Spamberger, she's Northam in a blonde wig.
