This summer Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims implemented a new program designed to help the federal government to deport illegal immigrants who have violent criminal records..

In an unprecedented move, she's allowing immigration and customs enforcement agents - or ICE - access to the Fresno County Jail.

The move is controversial, ground breaking and - according to the Sheriff - effect in removing violent criminals - who are in the country illegally. The timing of her program, has captured national attention - because of the recent murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.

She was killed allegedly by an illegal immigrant with a long criminal history, the very type of criminal that Fresno County's program is designed to help screen out and deport.

Tonight in an Eyewitness News Special Report, we'll show you how Fresno County's approach is becoming more popular and even spreading to other counties. We also talk to the Steinle family and those who are opposed to the Sheriff's program.
