U.S. v. Commonwealth of Virginia, et al. - The Trump Administration sued the state of Virginia over its sanctuary laws. The government challenges certain sections of Virginia’s Senate Bill 32 that prohibit federal officers from wearing facial coverings while performing official duties and require them to identify themselves. The law imposes misdemeanor criminal penalties for violations and does not exempt federal officers. Lastly, the government challenges Virginia’s Senate Bill 783 and HB 1441 that were signed into law on April 22, 2026, which imposes new conditions on current and new future 287(g) agreements. The new conditions include identification requirements, restrictions on where immigration enforcement may be conducted, and requirements to provide the names and ranks of all federal agents involved in any immigration enforcement activity. The government alleges the enacted laws unconstitutionally regulate and interfere with federal law enforcement. The federal case is ongoing.
