More than 80 percent of Prince William residents agree with how police are carrying out the locality’s controversial immigration policy, according to a report presented Tuesday to county supervisors.

A recent report on immigration enforcement from the federal Government Accountability Office. A change of White House administration. A tight national economy and ever-stretching fiscal deficit. And a new secretary of Homeland Security who enters the office at a time of great partisan push to overturn policy of the previous administration.

A Salvadoran immigrant’s claim of assault by a police officer has prompted a Virginia State Police investigation and a march scheduled for Monday.

Calling for Prince William police Chief Charlie T. Deane to resign because he agreed to meet with the Mexican consul and discuss immigration issues is a bit over the top, said one supervisor.
