“A state task force examining illegal immigration wants to increase reimbursement for local jails that hold undocumented aliens and empower state police, corrections officials and the Department of Motor Vehicles to enforce federal immigration law.

The panel hopes to raise the amount of state reimbursement from 25 percent of costs to 50 percent. The effort would offer incentive to local jails to hold alien suspects for federal deportation officials to detain, members of the Virginia State Crime Commission Illegal Immigration Task Force said at their final meeting Tuesday.”*
