Strong communities are built on trust. The Virginia Community Safety & Trust Act keeps families together, lets law enforcement focus on public safety, and ensures every Virginian can participate in community life without fear.

In 2025, over 60% of ICE arrests in Virginia targeted people with no criminal record—parents, workers, neighbors.

📝 Suggested Script:

""Hello, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent calling from [ZIP CODE]. I’m calling to urge [LEGISLATOR] to support the Virginia Community Safety & Trust Agenda.""

""This agenda is about separation of powers and building trust. We want to ensure that our local police are focused on local safety, not federal civil enforcement. When we keep these roles separate, we protect our communities and ensure that everyone feels safe reporting crimes.""

Key Points:

  • "I’m asking the [Delegate/Senator] to SUPPORT:
  • HB1438 and SB783 to end 287(g) agreements.
  • HB650 and SB351 to require judicial warrants.
  • HB675 to protect workers from coercion.
  • And HB1264 for the Accountability Commission.
  • I also urge a NO vote on HB1459, as it would undermine the very trust these other bills are trying to build."

""Thank you for your leadership in keeping Virginia’s families together and our communities safe.""

What Is the Virginia Community Safety and Trust Act?

The Virginia Community Safety and Trust Act ensures that local police cannot detain someone solely based on an ICE request. Instead, a judge must issue a warrant—the same constitutional protection every person in America deserves. This keeps families together and ensures everyone can live without fear.

What Does It Do?

Requires judicial warrants: Stops local jails from holding people based only on ICE requests—a warrant from a judge is required.

Protects personal information: Limits what data local agencies can share for civil immigration enforcement.

Builds community trust: Ensures immigrant families can call police, go to court, and access services without fear.

Creates accountability: Allows people wrongfully detained to seek justice.

Why Does It Matter?

Families are being torn apart. In 2025, over 60% of ICE arrests in our region targeted people with no criminal record—parents, workers, and neighbors.

Fear is spreading. When local police become entangled with immigration enforcement, entire communities stop reporting crimes, seeking medical care, or sending kids to school.

Everyone deserves due process. The Constitution protects all people—not just citizens. ICE detainers are requests, not warrants, and honoring them violates the 4th Amendment.

Our communities are stronger together. Immigrants are our neighbors, coworkers, and friends. Virginia is home to all of us.

The Bottom Line

  1. This is about protecting families and keeping communities safe—not politics.
  2. Everyone in America deserves constitutional protections, including due process.
  3. Local police should focus on keeping us safe—not doing federal immigration work.
  4. When people are afraid of police, crimes go unreported and everyone is less safe.
