There will soon be changes in the way Phoenix police officers communicate with illegal immigration.

Phoenix police officers will be receiving new guidelines on how to deal with suspected illegal immigrants. Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon said training is well underway.

"The vast majority of the police department have been trained, 3,000 officers," he said. "Within the next two to three weeks, we'll have a press conference with the chief announcing that the order is in place."

The new policy states, among other things, anyone arrested for a misdemeanor or felony will be asked their immigration status.
