Approved by Governor-Chapter 1028 (effective 7/1/2026)
Summary
The bill prohibits Virginia law‑enforcement officers from assisting federal immigration officials in identifying, arresting, or penalizing individuals for immigration purposes, except when a valid judicial warrant or subpoena is presented. It also mandates that any agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement contain detailed safeguards, including advance notice of agents, clear identification, and bans on activity at schools, faith‑based sites, or courthouses. Agencies that violate these requirements will have their agreements declared void and may face legal action.
