Thread: Phoenix Reverses Immigration Enforcement Policy

Phoenix reverses immigration enforcement policy

Paul Giblin, Tribune


Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says he will ask a blue-ribbon panel of former top federal and state law officials to craft a new policy for the Phoenix Police Department that would allow local officers to apprehend illegal immigrants and notify immigration officials if they detain undocumented immigrants.

Gordon has enlisted the aid of former U.S. attorneys Paul Charlton and Jose Rivera, former state Attorney General Grant Woods and former Maricpoa County Attorney Rick Romley to come up with a new policy.

Currently, the police department operates under a rule that prohibits officers from enforcing immigration laws. The Phoenix police union has recently asked the department to change the policy.

Gordon made the announcement at a news conference this afternoon. In a statement issued shortly before the press conference began, Gordon said the department’s current policy was written years ago and does not take into account today’s public safety, social and political concerns.

Phoenix Mayor Shifts on Officers’ Asking for Immigration Status
By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3 — Under pressure from advocates for stricter immigration laws, the mayor of Phoenix said on Monday that he no longer backed a Police Department order barring officers from routinely asking the immigration status of people it arrested and announced a panel to study a policy change.

A spokesman for Mayor Phil Gordon, Scott Phelps, said the policy was “written for another timeâ€

its about time, you would have thought they would have done it sooner before losing two policemen in the past few months

May the City of Phoenix take back it's City and receive all the enforcement they can from all levels. Backing DHS & ICE will allow them to move forward in fighting the problems that the illegals bring about.

Anybody know if there's a fund set up for the children of this officer? Not that Christmas is just around the corner but this family deserves to know that we support them as they move forward with their lives. I'm sure it will be a sad Christmas for all of them.

I think that city officials see this country is sitting on a powder keg. I don't want law-abiding American citizens taking things into their own hands. It seems inevitable if the law enforcement officials themselves don't do something. I guess Texas is getting real close down there according the the director of the movie "The Border".
