Woodbridge, VA–Today, as Abigail Spanberger is inaugurated as the first woman Governor of Virginia, she fulfilled a campaign promise to CASA in Action by adopting a major victory for immigrant communities across the Commonwealth. Governor Spanberger’s repeal of Executive Order 47, which ends Virginia’s participation in the federal 287(g) program, represents the culmination of years of organizing, advocacy, and pressure led by immigrant communities and organizations like CASA in Action. This moment is the result of sustained organizing power, not coincidence. Latino voters were a decisive force in Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s victory, with the largest shifts from the 2024 presidential election coming from Virginia’s most heavily Hispanic communities, particularly Prince William County, home to thousands of Salvadoran and Central American families. CASA in Action was critical to this victory, with a sizable portion of its electoral engagement centering Prince William County Latino voters. The 287(g) agreements, which deputized local law enforcement as ICE agents, fuel fear, racial profiling, and family separation in immigrant communities. When the former Governor signed EO-47, it sent a clear message that immigrant Virginians were unwelcome. Ending this program statewide is a critical step toward restoring trust, dignity, and safety for families across Virginia. "Today is a historic day for the Commonwealth. This victory belongs to the immigrant communities who organized, spoke out, and refused to be silenced," said Luis Aguilar, Virginia Director at CASA in Action. "By repealing EO-47, Governor Spanberger has reaffirmed that Virginia stands for freedom for all. This sends a strong and clear message: Virginia does not need voluntary collaboration with ICE to keep communities safe. When families can live without fear of deportation, everyone is safer. While this is a powerful first step, the work must continue to build trust. The General Assembly must honor …
Immigration activists are celebrating new Virginia Gov. Spanberger’s decision to end state and local law enforcement partnerships with ICE
So, first of all, that’s not CBS… 😂
Apparently someone responded, but I don’t know who, as whoever it is is someone I already blocked.

You can’t erase what was witnessed. Everyone saw it with their own eyes and ears.
As if anyone would believe a word printed by the Daily Mail! 😂🤣😂
WTF?!? It appears a new trend is starting. On Thursday, January 8, 2026, federal immigration agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shot a married couple in Portland, Oregon during a vehicle stop.

After this, no one should doubt Trump’s intention to invade Greenland. The EU needs to step up fast.
The President does not have power to wage war. He was already guilty of child sexual abuse & ripping the Constitution to shreds, & now, he’s a mass murderer.
Impeachment, conviction & removal are not enough. Trump & his enablers must be punished. No War in Venezuela. New York Nuremberg instead.
I can't imagine how this will end terribly... Oh wait I can imagine a million ways this ends absolutely terribly.

Two questions:
1. Do we still have a War Powers Act, which prevents a president from carrying out military aggression without Congress’s consent?
2. Do we still have a Congress?
If wishing made it so… 🫤

Trump's furor over Putin alleging that Ukraine has bombed his residence in Valdai shows how awful Trump is.

This is the state of things in the US government now.
So long as holding elected office is a way to get rich, we are doomed to be ruled by con artists and criminals.
Among the many, many desperately needed reforms, there should be a mandatory blind trust for all federal officials, both elected and appointed.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.
Trump absolutely wants to do this to Barack Obama.
