Agencies Move to Enforce Immigration Laws
SANTA ANA, Calif. Apr 24, 2005 — Frustrated by illegal immigrant criminals who slip their grasp, a growing number of state and county police agencies nationwide are moving to join a federal program that enlists local officers to enforce immigration laws.
The federal government has already granted that authority in Florida and Alabama, and the program is under consideration in Connecticut, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
It's also in the works in Southern California one of the nation's most ethnically diverse regions where it would reverse a long-standing local police policy of avoiding questions about immigration status during criminal investigations.
