Immigration Policy for State & Local Law Enforcement
"It is likely that many states will follow Arizona's lead and continue to serve as the laboratories of democracy as Americans call for increased enforcement of immigration laws."
"The hottest trend in sanctuary circles is to order local law enforcement agencies to ignore detainer requests from ICE. This ploy has been avidly promoted by illegal-alien advocates with this guide that was funded by the Soros Foundation."

PrintThe latest government data show that over one-fifth of incarcerated criminals in America are foreign-born. A large share of these individuals may have violated immigration laws and could be subject to deportation. Immigration status may be relevant to investigations of criminal activity, so officers in every police and sheriff's department need a basic understanding of immigration issues and policies and how they intersect with public safety matters.
The Center for Immigration Studies and Law Enforcement and Public Safety TV (LEAPS.TV) announce the release of the first in a year-long series of webinars, entitled "Immigration Policy for State and Local Law Enforcement." The series is designed to provide useful information on immigration issues and assist state and local agencies in developing appropriate policies to deal with criminal aliens and crime problems associated with illegal immigration. The first program is an introduction to the issues and is presented by Jessica Vaughan, CIS Director of Policy Studies. Future programs will feature subject matter experts from a mix of federal and local law enforcement agencies.
