Federal agents conducted a series of raids on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, targeting the Portsmouth office and a cannabis dispensary belonging to Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas. The operation is part of an investigation into federal corruption and the illegal sale of marijuana, according to law enforcement sources.
The court-authorized search warrants were executed simultaneously at the Democratic lawmaker’s legislative workspace and a nearby cannabis shop she co-owns. Federal law enforcement sources confirmed that a judge authorized the warrants after determining there was probable cause to search the properties.
Senator Lucas, a high-ranking official who actively supported Governor Abigail Spanberger during the 2025 campaign, arrived at the scene while the searches were underway. The senator claimed she was not informed about the specific reasons for the law enforcement presence at her legislative office.
“I have no idea what the FBI agents are doing at my office,” said L. Louise Lucas, Virginia State Senator.
The investigation follows previous scrutiny regarding the senator’s cannabis business. Reports from a prior investigation alleged that the shop sold products that were mislabeled or contained THC levels exceeding the legal limits defined by Virginia law.
The federal probe places additional political strain on Governor Spanberger. As reported by Fox News, the governor is currently navigating a decline in polling numbers amid criticism from opponents regarding her administration’s policy direction in the state.
Fox News Digital sought statements from both Senator Lucas and Governor Spanberger regarding the ongoing federal activity. No further details about the specific targets of the probe have been released by the Department of Justice.
