VA AG Jay Jones Tells County Sheriff He's Under Investigation for ::Checks Notes:: Enforcing Laws

We say it often because it's true: The Democrats have their top priorities, and legal, law abiding citizens of the United States aren't on that list. 

Earlier this week we told you about the mayor of Boston's efforts to track down who is leasing parking spaces to ICE officers. 

Now, in Virginia, we've now reached the point where law enforcement officials in Democrat-run states are being investigated for doing their jobs. Yes indeed, we have a state's Attorney General probing a county sheriff for the apparent crime of helping enforce laws: 

🚨New: Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones is going after the Greene County Sheriff for working with ICE and conducting joint immigration enforcement. The operation included coordinated vehicle stops resulting in around 50 arrests, according to local reports. pic.twitter.com/5OTmbELYwx

Unfortunately we can't say we're shocked. 

Oh, look, the Virginia AG is going after a cop for doing actual cop things... https://t.co/e3NSm9jI2A

Need the @TheJusticeDept’s help in Virginia.

Notice @AGJayJones isn’t helping remove dangerous illegals from our state, he’s going after a sheriff for doing his job. https://t.co/ncO6nqgJDw

Good luck with your investigation, AG Jones, because it might not go very well. 

State Sheriffs answer to the voters of their county, not to the governor.

Sheriff Smith should tell him go fly a kite. What authority does Jones have over a constitutionally elected sheriff?

Sounds to us like the Virginia Attorney General is the "threat to democracy" that Democrats love to project onto Trump.

Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents (and county sheriffs) enforcing our immigration laws.
