Applaud Governor Abigail Spanberger for Protecting Virginia

Virginia just got a powerful new leader — and Governor Abigail Spanberger is already proving she’s ready to put people first.

On her very first day in office, Governor Spanberger rescinded her predecessor’s order forcing state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. That executive order pushed police departments to divert limited resources toward enforcing federal civil immigration laws — instead of focusing on what truly keeps communities safe: preventing crime, supporting victims, and strengthening trust between residents and law enforcement.

Governor Spanberger made the right call by restoring common sense priorities: federal authorities can enforce federal immigration policy, while Virginia’s police can focus on protecting all Virginians — including hardworking immigrant neighbors who deserve safety, dignity, and fair treatment.
This is the kind of leadership we need right now: practical, principled, and rooted in public safety — not fear or political targeting. By taking immediate action, Spanberger is sending a clear message that Virginia will stand for inclusion, accountability, and community well-being.

Add your name to applaud Governor Abigail Spanberger for repealing this harmful ICE cooperation order and standing up for a safer, more welcoming Virginia for everyone.
