Gov. Ralph Northam has ordered a Virginia National Guard helicopter and crew assisting
with immigration enforcement at the southern border to return home until President
Donald Trump ends his family separation policy.

Several other governors, both Republicans and Democrats, have refused to commit state
military resources in protest of Trump's immigration policies. Unlike other state leaders
who said they would refuse to send troops if asked, Northam is pulling back resources
already carrying out an assigned mission, an extraordinary response to the rapidly
developing controversy at the border.

"When Virginia deployed these resources to the border, we expected that they would play a
role in preventing criminals, drug runners and other threats to our security from crossing
into the United States — not supporting a policy of arresting families and separating children
from their parents," Northam said in a statement.
