Gov. Bill Ritter is considering whether to move forward with a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement program aimed at getting illegal immigrants off the streets.The program is called Secure Communities and it is now operating in 26 states.
Under the program, when a person is arrested and fingerprinted, those fingerprints would automatically be run through the ICE database to see if the person is in the country illegally and whether the person has a criminal history.
Ritter is considering a few pilot programs in different areas, but has no timeline on making a formal decision. – More -
