Virginia police officer suspended after turning in suspected undocumented immigrant over to ICE

Wonder what would have happened if an undocumented gun was involved?

Remarkable

So I guess we can assume that officers of today are trained to uphold 'some' of the laws. Excuse me while I check to see if I can arrest you.

Unbelievable.

Firing a guy for doing his job...enforcing the law. Kind of like a few years back when everyone got up in arms about the Ulster County Sheriffs Department checking for outstanding warrants for people who were looking to collect social services. It just seems like common sense to me.

Maybe this guy (the illegal) wasn't a "bad guy" but he still broke the law. If he wants to immigrate to this country do so legally!

The officer in this scenario got hosed.

Is Illegal Immigration a Crime? Improper Entry v. Unlawful Presence

So this seems to do a decent job explaining the difference that these municipalities are exploiting to protect illegal aliens. Federal law needs to be updated to give unlawful presence, failing to show for deportation hearings and other violations some teeth and enforce-ability.

The officer was confused? I think captain asshat has that backwards and he’s confused on what the law is. I hope this cop sues them and wins.

Wheres this cop's union?

Maybe I'm just being hopefully optimistic that the cop decided to ignore an unlawful order from his Superior, but I see this as a great thing.

This does not make the country safer by any stretch of the imagination.

If this actually is what it sounds like, his superiors should be up on charges for obstruction of justice.

Let those illegals go and arrest those lawful gun owners dam you!

The Fairfax County Police Department enacted a 2007 policy that prohibits officers from confirming a person's immigration status and detaining them solely based on civil violations of immigration law.

The cop didn't violate their bullshit policy. The illegal didn't have a license but was driving. He ran his info based on that and then found out he already skipped a hearing. The residents there should either call for the chiefs resignation or tell him that they won't follow any laws since the dept is ok with people that violate the law.

Department of Motor Vehicles, police said. The check revealed the driver had a violation for failing to appear for a deportation hearing.

was not cops fault .. it was DMV who leaked it .. fire all the DMV workers now chief ..

Why is not the Federal government not prosecuting state agencies and personnel that are flagrantly violating the law? Why are we tolerating it? Why are we not burning everything democrat and "progressive" to the ground? Why are we not forming and mobilizing the militia to enforce constitutional law and to remove barriers to such action? Why are sympathetic government agencies and actors not supporting and calling for such? Why are we not now fighting the second Civil War?
The democrats and "progressives" will not be stopped peaceably.
