And in other news from Virginia, local officials in Prince William County have unanimously approved some of the nation’s harshest restrictions on undocumented immigrants. Police will now be tasked with checking the immigration status of anyone accused of breaking the law if they believe that person is in the U.S. illegally. The Board of County Supervisors approved the measures by a vote of eight to zero. More than 1,200 people showed up at the board meeting, most of them against the proposal. The new rules are already facing a court challenge from opponents who say they’re unconstitutional.
