Loudoun County Board of Supervisors · Board of Supervisors Business Meeting - Mar 03, 2026 · 3 Mar 2026 meeting

And really it is a kind of a, it's a policy statement that kind of what we've been talking opposite of us and putting kibosh on kind of local control of law enforcement, those who know best.

I mean, as a former prosecutor who had prosecuted many years, I've also done a lot of defense work.

And in my current position at my law firm,

What I have seen and generally experienced is that you create incentives when you create these sort of carve outs.

And what you do is you create an incentive to kind of be a sanctuary area where, okay, there's limits on what law enforcement is or is not going to do.

And unfortunately,

that will often invite some of the worst criminal elements of the legal population that may have made this, simply because, hey, we're being treated very differently.

I mean, I look at, for example, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and then other counties, and there is a significant element that

It gravitates to those areas simply because the leniency that's shown or the lack of cooperation with ICE.

So I think this is a very dangerous direction to go in.

My personal experience as well as I think statistics bear that out.

And I think lack of cooperation with ICE in many circumstances can ultimately be a public safety issue, which would ultimately tie their hands in situation which would make us a less safe community.

Now, do I think that different things could not be done at a national level or within the current

process I'm sure there are and I think that's somewhat what is being reacted to by a lot of folks across the country but the truth of the matter is to make broad sweeping statements like this that are based on some and you know obviously we've seen some of these these anecdotal situations that have occurred is a very dangerous precedent and it's kind of a knee-jerk reaction which I think it's one thing to say hey we need some reform we need a different

way to handle this, but to limit localities and sheriff's departments and local police departments on how they handle interaction with ICE, especially concerning a lot of the bad actors that we are well aware of that came in under the previous administration for many, many years, I think is very, very dangerous precedent to send.

This board should not be delving into that.

Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Don't have any disclosures.

I will, first of all, I want to thank, I'm grateful that we did the resolution on the groundwater today.
