Overview
- ICE arrested a man in Manassas during a pre-dawn operation attended by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
- The suspect was identified as Marvin Len Morales, who reporters said had been deported twice and had felony drug charges and a misdemeanor DWI.
- Mullin blamed Gov. Abigail Spanberger for policies he said limit police cooperation with ICE and cited Fairfax by claiming about half of murder suspects are undocumented.
- He pointed to Virginia moves to end 287(g) partnerships, which let local officers work with ICE to identify and hold people for deportation.
- Mullin said catch and release at the border has ended under President Trump and praised ICE officers, and Fox News said Spanberger’s office did not reply to a request for comment.
