WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Five police cruisers sat outside the Prince William County Government Center Tuesday night.
Crossover week of the 2017 Session came to a close as we finished initial action on over 3,000 bills. Twenty-two of my bills of were passed by the Senate and moved on to the House of Delegates.
My two Saturday Town Hall meetings had the largest crowds I have seen in eight years. There was significant concern regarding federal immigration raids on U.S. 1. On Friday, I received alarming reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had arrested numerous Latinos in a raid on U.S.1. While the deportation of convicted felons has been consistent policy, random street sweeps and arrest or deportations of law abiding residents is unprecedented in our community. I will work to get better information and seek to stop these actions.

Snakehead infiltrates Virginia waters and legislation
Lurking in the Potomac River is a wriggly monster that can grow to four feet long. With its sharp teeth, the snakehead devours other fish, and biologists fear it could spread across the country. It may not be the second coming of “Jaws,” but Virginia officials view the invasive species as a possible threat.

From Stafford County Sheriff’s Office Spokeswoman M.C. Moncure:
The phone lines are having intermittent issues. Not all calls are impacted. We are asking people if no one answers the line, then to call back immediately. The technicians have arrived and are on site right now determining the problem. I don’t have an estimate on the length of time until we are back to 100%.
