Attorney General Jason Miyares and 26 other state AGs sent a letter to President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas expressing their support for Texas border defense barriers. "The time for action is now. The Biden Administration must either fulfill its duty to enforce the laws that secure our southern border, or states like Texas will use their constitutional authority to address this invasion themselves and protect their citizens." -Attorney General Miyares Virginia stands with Governor Abbott as he fulfills his duty to safeguard his citizens. |
Attorney General Miyares filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA, alongside the Tennessee AG, arguing that the association's restrictions on the ability of current and future student-athletes to negotiate and benefit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights violate federal antitrust law and harm current and future student-athletes. "Student-athletes generate massive revenues for the NCAA, its members, and corporations within the college sports industry, especially in football and basketball. Student athletes should have more freedom over negotiating and earning money for their skills and ability. Colleges and universities benefit dramatically from the success of their student athletes - it's only fair that student athletes also get the full picture of how they may benefit from their choice of school as well." –Attorney General Miyares |
AG Miyares and First Lazy Suzanne S. Youngkin launched ItOnlyTakesOne, a fentanyl awareness initiative designed to educate Roanoke parents and caregivers about the dangers of opioids and likelihood of fentanyl-laced counterfeit drugs. |
"As a mother of four young adults, and father of three daughters, we share the fears of every parent, caregiver and loved ones across the country. We know that our children are not immune to the deadly substance of fentanyl. We have friends whose lives have been turned upside down by the tragedy this drug can bring. But to truly and effectively combat this poison, collective efforts between families, lawmakers and elected officials, educators, nonprofits, faith-based coalitions, health care practitioners, the news media, law enforcement and concerned citizens must be proportional to the problem. Our hope is to spark critical conversations and emphasize that all community members can be instruments of change." |
In November 2022, the Attorney General and the First Lady launched a public awareness campaign called "One Pill Can Kill" to generate open, honest conversations amongst families about fentanyl and the extreme threat it poses by raising awareness about counterfeit drugs. One Pill Can Kill will continue to serve as a statewide resource for Virginia families. By sharing resources like One Pill Can Kill or Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth's ItOnlyTakesOneVA.com, Virginians can be equipped with information to protect themselves and those they love. |
