The ICE website describes 287(g) as one of its "top partnership initiatives." It allows local law enforcement officers to collaborate with the agency in apprehending and prosecuting criminal aliens.
Now, the Obama administration wants to gut the program. The new budget cuts all funding for any new jurisdictions to join the program. In fact, the USA Today headline was, "Immigration enforcement program to be shut down."
Tell your Senators and Representative to restore funding for 287(g). We need the protections of this successful program.
