Far-left DC suburb tells residents to call 911 if they see ICE
Who's accountable for the results?
One of the most liberal municipalities in Virginia urged its residents to report sightings of ICE agents to emergency services as if they were common criminals spotted on the street.
The chairman of the Arlington County Board of Supervisors also took a shot at recently departed Gov. Glenn Youngkin for forging a 287(g) state-federal cooperation agreement with the Department of Homeland Security — which new Gov. Abigail Spanberger has since rescinded.
The largely wealthy, dense community of 245,000 people lies directly west of Washington, D.C., spanning the Potomac River from Ronald Reagan National Airport northward to the Chain Bridge, and has long been the anchor of Democratic might in the Old Dominion.
At this week’s board meeting, Chairman Matt de Ferranti, a Democrat from Rock Spring, urged Arlingtonians to remember that county law prohibits all residents and "public safety professionals … from interfering with the enforcement of federal immigration law."

Instead, he said, residents can alert county authorities to federal immigration enforcement and stay out of the way themselves.
"That is not just to follow the law, but to do everything possible to protect our neighbors and reduce harm. That means working together to call ‘911’ when you see ICE in our community."
De Ferranti said calling 911 helps officials know that ICE is present and then pivot to "pursu[ing] Arlington County’s law enforcement mission: preventing violence in our community."

"It also helps us know they have no legal requirement to tell us when they come into our community."
He claimed ICE’s enforcement approach is "designed to provoke and seek out conflict" and that going door-to-door seeking "undocumented individuals" is wrong.
Spanberger received the board’s praise for rescinding the 287(g) collaboration, as de Ferranti said it was a policy that Arlington "has never allowed — because it has been and always will continue to be inconsistent with our values, [but] that our previous governor followed."

The development comes months after Arlington made headlines in the case of David Cabrera, a twice-deported Guatemalan national and convicted rapist, the handling of which by officials in the Virginia county drew the explicit ire of ICE Director Todd Lyons in July.
