Crossing guards return to Fairfax high schools after student crash; federal court blocks Virginia ICE limits

Fairfax County brought back crossing guards at several high schools after a 16-year-old was struck near South Lakes High School, highlighting ongoing safety concerns and renewed calls to restore funding that had been cut from high schools; the driver remained at the scene and was cited for failing to stop before entering a highway. A guard, Anne Rodriguez, returned to her post, and officials say the incident underscores the importance of traffic and pedestrian safety measures. Separately, a federal judge blocked Virginia from enforcing new restrictions on local ICE agreements, allowing existing 287(g) partnerships to continue while litigation proceeds.
