Dozens of immigration activists gather at Our Lady Queen of Angels Church in Los Angeles to protest the federal deportation program "Secure Communities." Immigration activists say they’ve found evidence that the federal enforcement program Secure Communities has deported immigrants who had no arrest records.

Immigration activists say they’ve found evidence that the federal enforcement program Secure Communities has deported immigrants who had no arrest records.

Three national immigration advocacy groups obtained a cache of emails between the FBI and the state of California through a Freedom of Information Act request. The messages indicate Secure Communities is detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants who have never been arrested, despite objections from the California Department of Justice.

The federal government has said these are the lowest-priority immigrants for deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its Secure Communities effort. The program distributes fingerprint data from people booked at local and county jails to federal law enforcement.

Record numbers of deportations in the last couple of years have led activist groups to call for the end of Secure Communities.

But federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement says almost three-fourths of the people it has deported through Secure Communities in the last three years have criminal records. In the last year, officials say the agency's also taken specific steps to focus on its top priority: deporting serious criminals.

Secure Communities deported illegal aliens without arrest records

That means it's working just fine.

Technically they DO NOT have to have a criminal record, and I would venture to guess that they got caught doing something unsavory!

"Three national immigration advocacy groups obtained a cache of emails between the FBI and the state of California through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Meaning that they deported people that don't belong here. They are doing their job! These illegal immigration groups better get with the program and wake up. This is the United States of America. We have laws and not laws for you to pick and choose which ones you wish to follow. You come here illegally, you pay the consequences and get deported.
