    Suspended Fairfax Co. officer who held driver to be detained by ICE returned to duty

    Suspended Fairfax Co. officer who held driver to be detained by ICE returned to duty

    A Fairfax County, Virginia, police officer will return to full duty three days after being suspended for holding a driver at the scene of a crash so the driver could be picked up by immigration officials.


    Fairfax County police Chief Edwin C. Roessler said in a statement Wednesday that after an update from internal affairs, he has concurred with the procedural recommendation to return the officer to full duty on Friday.


    “We have one of the best police forces in the U.S. and I have confidence that our officer will represent us well throughout his career,” Roessler said.
    The incident started with a traffic incident on Sept. 21 at Harrison Lane and South Kings Highway in the Alexandria section.


    When the officer responded and started to handle the crash, they found one of the drivers did not have a driver’s license. When the officer checked the driver’s information, he found the driver was wanted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for failing to appear for a deportation hearing.


    The officer contacted the ICE agent listed on the warrant, who said they were nearby. The officer then gave the driver a summons for not having a license, held the driver through a “custodial detention,” then turned them over to the ICE agent.


    Roessler said that since the driver was not being taken into custody for any violation of law, they should not have been turned over to ICE. He announced on Tuesday that the officer had been “relieved of all law enforcement duties pending the outcome of this investigation.”


    Per policy, Roessler said that the internal administrative investigation continues.

    This suspension is outrageous! The policy not only violates federal law, but also violates Judge Harry D. Leinenweber’s recent WRITTEN OPINION

    “… that Section 1373 prohibits local governmental entities and officials only from directly restricting the voluntary exchange of immigration information with the INS. Ibid. The Court found that the Tenth Amendment, normally a shield from federal power, could not be turned into “a sword allowing states and localities to engage in passive resistance that frustrates federal programs.”

    Fox News has repeatedly informed its listeners that states do not have to assist federal agents.







    What Fox suspiciously omits from the conversation is, the court has also, and emphatically ruled, local entities may not restrict voluntary cooperation with ICE

    What’s up with Fox News and its libertarian/anarchist Judge Napolitano? Why not report the rest of the story which prohibits local entities, “… from directly restricting the voluntary exchange of immigration information with the INS …”?
