(DOWNTOWN TULSA, Okla.) May 25 - Many people in the Hispanic community are not happy with a city council resolution that targets illegal immigrants.



The resolution passed last night, and would require city police officers to check the immigration status of anyone arrested for a felony or misdemeanor.



If they're found to be illegal, the resolution says police must notify immigration and customs enforcement within 24 hours.



When someone is arrested they’re required to provide one of three things, a driver’s license, immigration papers or a green card. If this resolution becomes an ordinance and you don’t have either of those things, ICE will be notified.



Waitress Flora Gonzalez says she's worried what this new resolution could do to her community. “I see it like racial profiling. To me if a police officer automatically sees a Hispanic person, he’s going to pull him over.â€
