Alexandria is not a sanctuary city.

Despite all the supposed liberalism, when they tried this, iit failed. Too  many citizen complaints against the idea.[/quote]

City of Alexandria, Virginia[quote][b]That, beyond what is required by State and Federal law, the City and its various agencies will neither make inquiries about nor report on the citizenship of those who seek the protection of its laws or the use of its services.[/b][/quote]
William D. Euille, Mayor 10/2007[/quote]

A sanctuary city is one where the police do not inquire about immigration status and where police do not make arrests if the sole crime is an immigration violation.  If the Feds request ACPD to further hold someone who is already being held because of an immigration issue they will.  That does not disqualify Alexandria or any other city as a sanctuary city.  But if the Feds make a request for the local police to make an arrest solely for an immigration violation, Alexandria will say no, and ICE will have to come do it with their own agents.

As far as sanctuary cities go in Virginia, there are at least Alexandria, Richmond and Virginia Beach (that one surprised me).   I don't know about counties, which are separate from cities in Virginia.[/quote]
