Thread: Los Angeles police change policy

The LAPD has changed policy on illegal status. Chief announced there officiers will start checking legal status of suspects. Because they beleive that a large percentage of gangs are illegal aliens. They will start reporting to ICE as well. Before policy was to never try to determine the legal status of anyone, unless serious crime was comitted.

Los Illegals is sorta ending the sanctuary policy?

bad @ss

Skipp heard this correctly., but it pertains to gang members only. From the LA Times...

Re-deport gang suspects
The city and county should cooperate with federal authorities to remove gang injunction violators with prior deportation orders.
April 6, 2007

WHEN A SUSPECTED gang member is charged or convicted in a gang-related crime, should the local prosecutor let the feds know if his rap sheet has any felonies they might be interested in? Clear away the emotional rhetoric and bureaucratic confusion that fog discussion of immigration and the law, and this is the question raised this week by county Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley and City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo. The answer is yes.

Cooley's proposal, which is months away from being finalized, would work something like this: If the Sheriff's Department arrests and charges either a suspected gangbanger or chronic criminal offender, prosecutors would check his record — not for immigration status but for prior deportation orders. If the suspect is indeed a former deportee who has made it back into the country, that information could be forwarded to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for possible deportation hearings. The more minor the original charge, the more likely the county would transfer the case.

Delgadillo, meanwhile, announced a new policy Thursday, effective immediately, of handing over to federal authorities the names of anyone convicted of violating a gang injunction. Those names would be checked for immigration status and criminal history.

The benefits of these policies are not hard to fathom. Gang crime is the most pressing law enforcement issue in the county, and a significant (though minority) portion of it is committed by transnational gangs with serial border-crossing members. More than 20% of inmates who pass through L.A. County's overcrowded jails are undocumented. Illegal immigrants caught spray-painting gang graffiti should have no reasonable expectation of remaining in the country.

This story Skipp is referring to is an Editorial by the LA Times. It is a followup of the original article of April 5 posted on ALIPAC

No mention of Special Order 40 probably because it is only targeted for use against gangs.

I read that too. Odd it took them so long to figure out most of the gang members were illegal. I knew that, and I live in Ky!

They new it, they are finally just feeling the pressure from the public and making excuses for their do nothing law enforcement!!
