A police officer in Fairfax County, Virginia has been suspended for the transgression of aiding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in detaining an illegal alien fugitive.
If this isn’t proof that right is wrong and up is down in liberal sanctuary cities and counties, we don’t know what is.
The officer in question responded to a traffic accident in Alexandria two weekends ago when he realized one of the drivers did not have a license.
In the course of checking the individual’s DMV records, ICE notified the officer that the person was wanted by the law enforcement agency for having skipped a deportation hearing.
The police officer let ICE know of the situation and a pair of agents who happened to be in the area arrived on scene.

Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin Roessler was so distraught that one of his officers followed protocol as established by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that he ordered an immediate investigation … into the officer!
“When I learned of this event, I directed an immediate internal investigation to look at all factors in this matter to ensure that all are held accountable for this violation,” Roessler said in a statement.
“Our county is one of the most diverse counties in the nation and no one should have the perception that FCPD is acting as a civil immigration agent for ICE,” he added. “This matter damages our reputation and the longstanding policy that I have stated many times that our officers shall not act as immigration agents.”
And he said this without realizing it was he – not the officer – who was damaging his department’s reputation.

Fairfax County became a so-called ‘sanctuary’ county in 2018. The county GOP noted at the time that the term ‘sanctuary’ only really applies to illegal aliens, not the legal residents in the area.
“The Democrat-controlled Board of Supervisors have officially declared Fairfax a Sanctuary County,” they wrote. “In doing so [they] have put the lives of Fairfax residents at risk.”
“[They are] sending a message that she would rather protect criminal illegal aliens than Fairfax residents.”
Not only that, they are now sending a message that people who enforce the law are actually the criminals.
Eleven members of MS-13 in June of 2018 were charged in connection with the kidnappings and deaths of two teens in Fairfax, Virginia whose bodies had been found in a local park.
In June the previous year, ICE placed a detainer on a 22-year-old illegal immigrant who was accused of killing a 17-year-old Muslim girl in Virginia. He was sentenced to life in prison after admitting to bludgeoning her with a baseball bat, raping her and then dumping her body in a pond.
These are the kinds of animals Democrats in Fairfax County are protecting.

All citizens should be working with police and immigration officers to eradicate illegals from endangering the lives of our children.
Unreal.
Exactly when did AMERICA MOVE?? Because no one told me about it. America has laws to protect AMERICANS, it’s WRONG to put ILLEGALS BEFORE LEGAL AMERICANS. The police officer was absolutely RIGHT to FOLLOW AMERICAN LAWS!!
This is SO wrong…that police officer was doing right by the laws of this nation. Shame on the police chief and others like him.

I don’t understand is federal LAW not to be followed by every state. Sadly we have law braking OFFICIALS WHO don’t care about we the PEOPLE (CITIZENS). They need to be fired ASAP!!!
This why I am so ashamed of being a native born Virginian. My ancestors came to Sussex VA in 1732 and I feel sure they would be both stunned and outraged as to how the democratic party has turned the state from a conservative to liberal run government. All 3 statewide elected officials are all democrats (primarily from that oh so diverse Fairfax co/northern VA area. Disgusting.

LOL I guess the “monitor” took a second look at the post that was deleted and realized it did not violate the policy. Thank you for returning the original post!
I just got deleted for a post that simply said we need to elect representatives that believe in, uphold and protect our Constitution what about that is a “violation of our policy’?

Such evil can only be expected by a police officer who opts to do his sworn duty while subject to the rogue rule of lib politicians who lie about protecting the Constitution when sworn into office.
The decline in common sense accompanied the rise of Liberalism. Fairfax county is the reason for 2 Liberal Governors and 2 liberal Senators. The plurality in Democrat voters in Fairfax overcame most of the rest of Virginia’s votes for conservative candidates. Now that Fairfax is officialy out as a Sanctuary County, I hope Fairfax voters are looking at what’s happening crime wise in Montgomery County. But, probably not.

Perhaps the officer could have delivered the illegal to the chief’s neighborhood ??
Too bad all of the states can’t be in the same area. At which point we could put them in a little pocket and say now we have North and South America right here in America. There is no other way to solve this problem. The Democrats are so far on the left and the Republicans are right by there supposed to be. If we can’t find them we sure as hell don’t want to join him we should just separate from them

The Police Chief was wrong and should be thrown out of office. The officer was correct and followed the law by turning over the ILLEGAL ALIEN to ICE Agents.
