The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has signed agreements with many states that will pose a threat to the Biden administration’s goals. The DHS has signed the Sanctuary for Americans First Enactment Agreement (SAFE) with Arizona, Louisiana, Indiana, and the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina. This SAFE agreement could seriously hamstring the administration’s goals of pausing deportations, prioritizing immigration arrests to immigrants with serious criminal backgrounds, and increasing avenues to asylum.

Under the SAFE agreements, the DHS would give notice of immigration policy changes and the states would have six months to review them and submit comments. Only after this review can the DHS move forward with the proposed changes. The DHS would require the states to sign agreements confirming that the DHS provided the required notice.

The Department of Homeland Security has signed agreements with multiple jurisdictions, including the state of Arizona, that appear to be an unusual effort to hamstring the incoming Biden administration’s goals to pause deportations, prioritize immigration arrests to only those with serious criminal backgrounds, and increase avenues to asylum.
As the red light for jury trials in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County drags on, Chris Hottingerâs frustration grows.
Sheâs been waiting since the Aug. 5, 2019, crash that killed her daughter, Raven Morgan, 30, of Broadway, for the man accused of causing the wreck to face trial.
The trial has been postponed because of a statewide judicial emergency issued by the Supreme Court of Virginia due to COVID-19 precautions.
âItâs gut-wrenching. I want closure,â said Hottinger, 52, of Bergton. âWhen you know the date of the trial is approaching and then they reschedule it, you get that feeling of âHere we go again.â Every time we go back to court, it brings that night of horror up.â

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) The Harrisonburg Police Department is gathering intelligence, monitoring social media at local, state, and federal levels, and collaborating with other agencies in the Shenandoah Valley ahead of the presidential inauguration.
Lieutenant Chris Monahan says so far, they do not have information that shows any potential unrest in Harrisonburg.
“We have no intelligence to believe that something will take place locally - clearly you never know - so it’s important to be prepared if it does, but thankfully at this point, we haven’t received any information that there is something planned local,” he said.
