Secure Communities Program Uses Biometrics to Target Illegal Immigrants – Emergency Management
As of last week, any person arrested and fingerprinted in California will now undergo an automatic immigration check.
California became the ninth state in which each county has activated Secure Communities, a fingerprint data-sharing program between local law enforcement offices and federal immigration enforcement agencies. Other states with complete activation include Texas, West Virginia, Florida, Arizona, Delaware, Virginia, Wisconsin and New Mexico.
