Police Union: ‘Inflammatory and Demoralizing’ for Sanctuary Chief to Suspend Officer who Helped ICE

The Fairfax County, Virginia, police union is hitting back after the sanctuary county’s police chief suspended an officer who had helped Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents capture an illegal alien fugitive.

As Breitbart News reported, Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin Roessler Jr. suspended an officer from his duties pending an investigation after he learned that the officer aided the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in locating and arresting a wanted illegal alien – a violation of the county’s sanctuary policy, which shields illegal aliens from arrest and deportation.

Since the incident, the officer was reinstated to his position at the Fairfax County Police Department, but was made to undergo “remedial training,” as Breitbart News reported.

In response, the Fairfax County Police Association (FCPA) released a statement, calling Roessler’s comments “inflammatory and demoralizing” to officers at the police department.
