Youngkin rebukes Spanberger’s vow to overturn immigration crackdown order

Published



Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) said the “safety” of Virginia residents is on the ballot this November, citing a recent pledge from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.

In a post on X, Youngkin referenced Spanberger’s comments to the Virginia Mercury in which she said she would rescind Youngkin’s Executive Order 47 as governor. Youngkin issued the order on Feb. 28, directing state police to cooperate with federal authorities in deporting “criminal illegal aliens.”
