Long way to go it will probably end up in the supreme court, virginia says its permissible for the law officers to do it. im working with the federal government to see if we can get our section 287 of authority to allow police officers to be crosstained as ice agents so we can do civil immigration enforcement. look, the federal government has failed the states. thats why you see many of us looking for ways to police this issue. because we dont have sufficient border security or enforcement withi...

State law would work or be applied in a routine police stop. >> any legitimate police stop, and that can be for traffic, criminal invitation, law enforcement is allowed to ask about other subjects. and our opinion addressed the fact that they can ask about illegal immigration, immigration status, along with anything else. so long, again, as there is already a legitimate criminal stop or a traffic stop for some other reason. what they can also do is arrest for criminal violations of immigration l...

And really, should have-- should the judge have waited to just see how the enforcement stage of all of this would have taken place? >> absolutely. i mean, this was extraordinary that they dont even take a look at how the officers apply the law and all over this country, we have local law enforcement implementing federal immigration law through the 287 g program. and you dont have all of the atrocities that everybody was screaming about. law enforcement by nature are people that work within the b...
