The immigrant group that opposes the proposal by Governor Glenn Youngkin to strip

funding from so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was denied federal funding by the Prince William County commission in February after it reportedly filed nearly $200,000 in expenses that are unfit for federal dollars distributed by the county. Youngkin unveiled a budget plan that includes a “No Sanctuary Cities” proposal that would require local law enforcement agencies to coordinate with ICE.
