"Illegals policy angers leaders [Arlington County, VA]

From this:

Virginia lawmakers and the state attorney general yesterday expressed dismay that Arlington County plans to ignore a new law aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrants in the fight against gangs and terrorists.

Delegate Robert G. Marshall suggested cutting state funding to Arlington's police force or even shutting off the county's water if local officials opt not to implement the law...

The law, which takes effect July 1, permits local police to arrest any illegal immigrant who previously was convicted of a felony and deported...

Arlington County Board Chairman Barbara Favola was not available for comment yesterday...

See this post for some prime quotes from Ms. Favola. I hope a law-abiding challenger to her is available.
