Title: Immigration Enforcement -- The Dangerous Reality Behind "Secure Communities"

Summary: Immigration Enforcement-- The Dangerous Reality behind “Secure Communities,” outlining the deep flaws in the program that nets 78% non-criminals in Illinois - three times nationwide rate. As US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ramps up deportations to nearly 1,100 each day, it is selling its new “Secure Communities” program as a tool to help local police get dangerous criminals off the streets and out of the country. Yet here in Illinois, where 26 out of 102 counties participate so far, the program has been largely sweeping up immigrants who pose no harm to the community—disrupting families and wasting law enforcement resources paid for by Illinois taxpayers.
