Arlington County Board votes to prohibit police from contacting ICE
ARLINGTON, Va. (DC News Now) — Arlington County police are no longer allowed to reach out to federal immigration officials proactively. The county board voted Tuesday to take out language from its 'Trust Policy.' One of the big concerns from immigration lawyers and board members is that immigrants have been afraid to report crimes to police for fear of being deported. People opposed to the policy change say the move makes the community less safe. With the recent ICE crackdowns on immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, life for many immigrants comes with fear. 189 arrested in immigration crackdown under 'Make DC Safe and Beautiful' initative 'Generally, people are scared,' said immigration attorney Miguel Palmeiro. On Wednesday afternoon, Palmeiro was helping a single mom with a young son who two people attacked. 'She doesn't have legal status. So her fear, she tells me, she goes, 'I don't want to call the police because I don't want them to have my updated address, because then they're going to get me and they're going to deport me,'' Palmeiro said. It's one of the main reasons Arlington County's board unanimously removed Section 7 of its trust policy, meaning county law enforcement can't proactively contact federal immigration authorities about any issue. 'I want the police to be able to keep the community safe. And they can report the crimes so that… future crimes don't happen,' Palmeiro said. 'I'm worried that if people think that they just target immigrants, that bad things will happen to immigrants.' County Vice Chair Matt De Ferranti says Arlington police shouldn't be focused on federal immigration. 'Those in our detention facility must be entered into a database that ICE has access to. Whether we like that or not, it is the law,' De Ferranti said. Immigrant advocacy organizations offer advice amid reports of increased immigration enforcement in DC There is pushback to the change. Matthew Hurtt is chairman of the Arlington County Republican Committee. 'Arlington Republicans are disappointed at this county board for refusing to work with federal law enforcement, including ICE, to uphold our immigration laws,' Hurtt said. Hurtt believes increased ICE enforcement is a good thing. 'It allows law enforcement to keep our streets safe. Again, Northern Virginia residents are deeply concerned about crime and we're seeing a lot of elements from the illegal alien community, people who are hiding in the shadows, who are committing those crimes,' Hurtt said. As part of her decision, board member Maureen Coffey pointed to the overall immigration actions that have been taking place. 'Sending people to foreign prisons and claiming we have no way to get them back is not normal. Stating that due process isn't required for immigration proceedings is not normal,' Coffey said. 'The rhetoric and actions of this administration have led to tremendous stress and fear in our community, and we want to make sure all residents feel safe in engaging with local government, particularly with local law enforcement, ' said Takis Karantonis, chair of the Arlington County Board. 'The County continues to follow state and federal law, but neither requires us to have Section 7. The County has always held that immigration enforcement is the sole and exclusive responsibility of the federal government, and this decision remains consistent with that understanding.'

Former Seahawks DC Clint Hurtt is a Super Bowl champion
The Seattle Seahawks were obviously not apart of Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, but there was a familiar face involved with the big game. With the Philadelphia Eagles claiming victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with their dominant 40-22 triumph, it means a former Seahawks coach is now a Super Bowl champion: former defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt. Clint Hurtt was Seattle's defensive coordinator from 2022-2023 – the final two seasons of the Pete Carroll era with the Seahawks. Prior to his promotion, Hurtt was Seattle's assistant head coach and defensive line coach from 2017-2021. But after the Seahawks decided to move on from Coach Carroll, the franchise allowed Hurtt to seek other opportunities elsewhere. Such an opportunity presented itself in the City of Brotherly Love, where Hurtt became Philly's defensive line coach. His fingerprints were all over the Eagles' win, as the Birds put forth one of the greatest defensive line performances in the history of the Super Bowl. The Eagles harassed Patrick Mahomes from start to finish, sacking him six times and hitting him 10 times overall. The constant pressure even resulted in a strip sack fumble, which Philly recovered. Given how dominant the Eagles defensive line was, I would not be surprised if Hurtt gets his second shot at being a defensive coordinator again sooner rather than later.

Why the Eagles "without question" believe there's more to unlock in Jordan Davis
Looking at the raw numbers, it's easy to think Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis would be a disappointment as a former first-round pick. Davis only has 27 tackles, one sack, three tackles for loss and two passes defensed in 17 games. He played 37% of the snaps in a rotation with Milton Williams, Moro Ojomo and Thomas Booker. He logged just 10 pressures and a 5.4% pressure rate. Even with the stats not showing progress, Eagles defensive line coach Clint Hurtt sees the progression Davis has made throughout the season. There are parts of Davis' game Hurtt is unlocking. "I'll tell you what. He's not even remotely close to being a finished product," Hurtt said during Super Bowl week in New Orleans. "He went from a world where all he was asked to do in college was play lateral and eat up combination blocks and let linebackers go make tackles. He already does that really, really well. "So what I'm asking him to do is splitting those combinations. When the linebackers get downhill and the double team comes off, you need to make these plays. He's getting better at that. I want him to understand that when he's in the game, he can rush the passer too. With all these physical traits, you can rush the passer. Now, let's build your rush and see that come to life." Davis' NFC title performance "not a one-time occurrence" The work Davis has put in with Hurtt paid off in the NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders. Davis had three pressures in 13 pass-rushing snaps, with a sack and a 25% pressure rate. Even in the limited snaps, this was arguably the game of the season for Davis as a pass rusher. "That's not a one-time occurrence," Hurtt said. "He's going to continue to get better in that area. So I'm not going to peg him as a one-trick pony or a guy that's on a limited basis. His game is still improving." The Eagles have seen noticeable improvements in Davis. He's caught wind of it too. "His contribution to my development is immense," Davis said. "Even when I was watching the game against the Chiefs and before that in the Super Bowl just to see how I've grown, especially over the course of the year. It was noticeable. It breeds confidence and it's a great feeling to just be a part of this team and to contribute to this team. "Any way I can grow in this league, I'm going to grow. If you're not growing, you're falling back. The things he taught me, the confidence he gives me. is immense." What will the Eagles do about Davis' fifth-year option? Davis is in his third year in the league, and the Eagles are going to have to decide on his fifth-year option in May. A former first-round pick, Davis is projected to make $11.4 million in the 2026 season if the Eagles pick up his option. If not, he plays the final season of his rookie contract and can hit free agency after the 2025 season. Hurtt sent out a warning for anyone who wants to put the bust level on Davis. There is too much untapped potential in defensive tackles if they are coached right. "If you think guys are finished products by the time they are in their second or third year in the league, then you're completely wrong," Hurtt said. "These guys will continue to ascend and get better. When I was in Seattle, I had Al Woods — a 10, 11-year veteran when I got them. He told me all he was told his whole life was 'play the run game, eat up blocks, but when the ball gets toward me, make a play.' But the other guys came on to rush the passer. I think that's very limiting. You get out of players what you coach and what you see them to be. I see Jordan, and he can be an every-down player. Without question." Why Clint Hurtt believes Davis' game will "keep on ascending" The biggest knack on Davis over his first few seasons has been his conditioning. Davis looks leaner and built for the rigors of a 17-game season, even in a limited role. Those snaps could be on the upswing next year. "His conditioning is getting that way," Hurtt said. "He's starting to get enough confidence. That's the big part of it. I'm not going to peg you in one hole and say this is all you can be. Hell no. You can be one of the best in the business. Let's keep on working and straightening this. His game is going to keep on ascending and taking off. I got all the confidence in the world."
