Fairfax County Rejects Nearly 6 of Every 7 Illegal Immigrant Transfer Requests, Records Show

Fairfax County, Virginia, has refused to transfer 615 undocumented immigrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the past 16 months, according to records obtained by a conservative legal group, while only turning over just 11 individuals. This decision has been made despite the county's sanctuary policy, which aims to protect undocumented immigrants from being deported. The group claims that this policy is being undermined by local officials who are allegedly failing to uphold their duties. The refusal of ICE transfer requests is seen as a significant blow to federal immigration efforts in the area.
