ICE Targets Undocumented Drug Dealer Near School | Portland Maine News

ICE has detained Isaac Melendez-Carranza, an undocumented Salvadoran man arrested in Loudoun County for fentanyl trafficking near a school — a case that’s igniting a legal firestorm in Virginia. While a new state law bars local sheriffs from cooperating with ICE, a federal judge has paused it, leaving enforcement uncertain. Acting ICE Director warns undocumented immigrants involved in deadly drug crimes will be targeted, stressing community safety over politics. Meanwhile, the DOJ is suing Virginia, calling the state law unconstitutional and dangerous — claiming it endangers federal officers by forcing them to reveal identities and risk harassment. The showdown between state and federal power is heating up as communities brace for what comes next. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
