NC sheriff defends immigration deportation program
NC sheriff defends immigration deportation program
Monday, March 09, 2009
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A North Carolina sheriff says he'll continue to use a controversial program that allows deputies to report suspected illegal immigrants after they're arrested on other charges.
Mecklenburg County Sheriff Chip Bailey said Monday that deputies don't actively look for illegal immigrants. He said all individuals are asked about their citizenship while being booked into jail. If they say they're not a U.S. citizen, they are reported to immigration officials.
The sheriff's office is among more than 60 state or local law enforcement agencies that participates in the federal program, which was criticized last week by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
The agency said the program is being used to round up minor offenders instead of serious criminals, a criticism echoed by Latino advocacy groups in North Carolina.
