(CNSNews.com) – The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has asked the Obama administration to “immediately terminate” a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) program that has identified more than 120,000 illegal aliens over the past three years..
“On behalf of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), we write to ask that you immediately terminate all Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) under the 287(g) program and cease to establish such agreements,” reads the letter to President Obama.
“These agreements are the subject of serious concern as local law enforcement agencies have used the new powers to target communities of color, including a disproportionate number of Latinos, for arrest,” says the letter. “The 287(g) program, which was significantly expanded throughout the Bush Administration, relinquishes the power to enforce federal immigration laws to local law enforcement and corrections agencies. … The misuse of the 287(g) program by its current participants has rendered it ineffective and dangerous to community safety.”
The program, the 287 (g) section added to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, created a partnership between the Department of Homeland Security’s ICE and state and local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws.

If we are talking about ILLEGAL immigrants there is no such thing as misuse of power.
I agree we should terminate all of these departments as well. Just as soon as we deport every last Illegal in the country. FOR THE LAST TIME YOU ARE IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.
Hey, He will do it. Obamas next is bridge the ocean to africa.
ICE is pretty good. If you arrest someone and you know they are an illegal you just call ICE and they will slap a detainer on them so they can be shipped back. They took one we had about 3 months ago and after they fingerprinted the guy it was found that he had warrants in 5 different states under 9 alias'.
Loudon county VA has deported more illegals this yesr to date than all of 2008.
Folks, it works. 287(g) works.
