Sheriff Sean Casey, and his continued dalliance with ICE, are in our thoughts... grassrootsalexandria.org/wading-throu... Why? Because we are doing our best to serve flimflam curators and connoisseurs (aka pundits) here in beautiful Alexandria, VA. It's what we like to do

We agree with the Alexandria City Council and "call upon the Sheriff to cease his transfer of persons in his custody in response to ICE administrative detainers and warrants" Write to Sheriff Casey: bit.ly/3HdSjot Read more here: www.alxnow.com/2025/11/13/m...

Alexandria VA residents, if you would like to get involved in our community and help with a variety of issues ranging from civil rights, ensuring ICE is out of Alexandria, green energy, come join the GrA monthly meeting tonight @ 7pm 3801 Mt Vernon Ave, 22305

UPDATE — With Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson, there are 12 members of Congress now calling Israel's genocide a "genocide." Other recent additions are Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Pramila Jayapal, Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Most Alexandrians respect law enforcement, but not ICE. ICE does not respect due process. ICE deserves no respect. If Sheriff Casey continues to cooperate with ICE, when his hand is not forced by a judicial warrant, he risks losing the respect of his community. bit.ly/ICEOUTTeach
