The future for 40
The future for 40
April 20, 2008
Current rules
* The LAPD's Special Order 40 states that police officers cannot stop people for the sole purpose of asking about immigration status.
* LAPD rules do allow officers to ask about immigration status as part of an arrest or booking process.
* Local jails also check the immigration status of inmates. Police and immigration officials have identified 20,000 illegal immigrants in Southern California jails between December 2006 and January 2008.
Proposed changes
* Councilman Dennis Zine: LAPD officers investigating gang members who they believe are illegal immigrants would be required to check their immigration status, even if the suspects were not under arrest. If a gang member was here illegally, officers would be required to notify federal immigration officials.
* Family of slain high school football player Jamiel Shaw Jr.: Officers could routinely check the immigration status of known gang members who are crime suspects.
* Anti-illegal immigration activists: Drop Special Order 40 altogether.
