Virginia state Senator Saddam Azlan Salim filed three bills in January 2026 aimed at curbing ICE activity and limiting local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. SB351 would bar certain civil immigration arrests in and around courthouses; SB352 would restrict law-enforcement facial coverings; and SB783 would place conditions on 287(g)-style agreements, prohibit schools and health providers from sharing immigration data without judicial warrants, and limit use of state or local funds for enforcement. Salim said the measures respond to recent ICE arrests and mask‑wearing by agents and aim to protect immigrant communities’ access to courthouses and services and reduce fear locally. (vadogwood.com)
