Virginia’s largest county could be next to help undocumented immigrants fight deportation
“At a budget hearing Wednesday, the county Board of Supervisors will hear testimony about a proposed $200,000 pilot program aimed at assisting low-income immigrants — both undocumented and those in the country legally — detained by federal agents. The program, which also would educate eligible immigrants in Virginia’s most populous jurisdiction about their legal rights, came at the urging of advocacy groups responding to an increase in deportation cases in the county, officials said.”
