David Harris in The Nation on the Federal Program for Local Police Enforcement of Immigration Law

October 30th, 2009 · No Comments

Professor David Harris was quoted in an article in The Nation on a program by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under which local police departments enforce immigration law. The program has resulted in abuses and civil rights violations all over the country, and the great majority of police departments have resisted joining it. Professor Harris told The Nation that “any police agency in a city or town with an Hispanic population of any size understands that being involved in immigration is the last thing they want.”
