I.C.E. Program, MCO 09/26/10 TDH

Immigration, and customs enforcement officials have released data detailing a new program to identify and deport violent criminals who are illegal immigrants.   The “Secure Communities Project” was implemented in Monterey County in April, and is part of a nation-wide effort to increase information sharing between jails and immigration authorities.  203 inmates at Monterey County Jail have been deported to various countries, as of August 31st.  The program, which relies on a finger-printing database, among other things, is set to be expanded nationwide by 2013.
