NOT PICK THEM UP. THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES NOTIFY ICE, NOTHING HAPPENS. AND THIS BILL, I THINK WHAT IT ATTEMPTS TO DO, ALTHOUGH SOMEWHAT CONFUSING, BUT PROBABLY THIS IS WHY THE SHERIFFS DON'T LIKE IT, THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO RELEASE A PERSON BASED ON A JUDGE'S ORDER OF BAIL, BOND, FOR EXAMPLE, OR WHATEVER UNDER STATE OR LOCAL LAW AND THEY SHOULD RELEASE A PERSON. AND THERE'S ICE OUT THERE WHO HASN'T COME TO PICK UP ANYBODY, AND SO THERE'S -- THIS BILL, SEEMS TO ME, TRIES TO SAY IF ICE IS NOT DOING IT'S JOB, LET'S DO THE JOB FOR THEM, AND I KNOW THE LOCALITIES DON'T WANT ZO DO THAT. THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO THAT, THEY SHOULDN'T DO THAT. IF ICE IS NOT GOING TO DO ITS JOB, IT'S NOT GOING TO DO ITS JOB. THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR ICE. [ CAPTIONING WILL RESUME SHORTLY ]

Comments

ACLU-VA LGBT Rights, tracking this bill in Photosynthesis, notes:

The ACLU of Virginia strongly opposes this bill. This is one of a number of bills introduced this session designed to legislate or regulate transgender people out of existence. Most of the bills are unconstitutional; all of them are nothing more than ineffective, mean-spirited efforts to deny LGBT people, and, particularly, transgender Virginians their constitutional and human rights.
