Obama Administration Rejects Virginia's 287(g) Application


 - posted on NumbersUSA





The Obama Administration has rejected the application submitted by the Virginia State Police to join the Department of Homeland Security's 287(g) program. The program allows local law enforcement agents to be trained by federal immigration enforcement officials in order to help enforce federal laws at the state and local level. Earlier this week, the administration suspended all 287(g) agreements that DHS had with agencies in Arizona.



"I'm incredibly disappointed with the Obama administration," Gov. Bob McDonnell said.



Gov. McDonnell campaigned in 2009 on the issue of registering the state police with the 287(g) program.



In 2010, Gov. McDonnell submitted an application to DHS to allow 28 state troopers to become part of the program. After nearly a year without a response, Gov. McDonnell contacted DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, stating, "we have patiently waited nine months for formal approval and the time to act is now. Virginia meets all the qualifications and has proven to be an excellent partner state and I ask you to approve our application without further delay."
