  • Fairfax County Government ‏@fairfaxcounty  Jan 23: .@fairfaxsheriff terminates intergovernmental service agreement with @ICEgov; will no longer hold inmates past their release date unless an ICE administrative request to detain the inmate is accompanied by a criminal detainer issued by a court.
  • Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office ends agreement with ICE to hold wanted inmates. FAIRFAX, Va. – The Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office said it is terminating an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and will no longer hold inmates wanted by the federal agency past their release date. Starting on May 23, the sheriff’s office will no longer honor requests to detain individuals with a detention order unless there is a corresponding criminal detainer issued by a court. Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid said the department no longer needed to have an agreement that required it to extend its resources. “I am pleased with Sheriff Stacey Kincaid’s decision to take this step,” said Fairfax County Board of Supervisors chairman Sharon Bulova in a news release. “The Sheriff and her Deputies operate the County jail and are not federal immigration officials.” However, Fairfax County School Board member Elizabeth Schultz is concerned this could put students at risk and said the abrupt shift in policy could spell danger, not only for the community, but for school campuses across the county.
