Sacramento County Uses Biometrics to Remove 461 Undocumented in First Year

Since its activation in Sacramento County a year ago, Secure Communities’ biometric information-sharing initiative has resulted in the identification and removal of more than 460 convicted criminal immigrants encountered by local law enforcement in Sacramento County.

Secure communities is the center of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) comprehensive strategy to enhance efforts to identify and remove unauthorized immigrants convicted of crimes from the country. It uses biometric identification to alert ICE when potentially removable aliens are arrested by local law enforcement.

Of the 461 convicted criminal aliens removed from Sacramento County in the last year, 192 are considered Level 1 offenders, which includes those convicted of serious or violent crimes, such as murder, sexual assault and robbery. Another 126 are Level 2 offenders, which includes individuals with convictions for offenses such as arson, burglary and property crimes. As part of the Secure Communities strategy, ICE is prioritizing its enforcement efforts to ensure that individuals who pose the greatest threat to public safety are removed first.

Regardless of the offenses for which individuals are initially booked, the Secure Communities screening may reveal more serious criminal histories.

Through enhanced information sharing between the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), biometrics submitted through the state to the FBI will be automatically checked against both the FBI criminal history records in IAFIS and the biometrics-based immigration records in DHS’s Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT).

If fingerprints match those of someone in DHS’s biometric system, the new automated process notifies ICE. ICE evaluates each case to determine the individual’s immigration status and takes appropriate immigration enforcement action. This includes aliens who are lawfully and unlawfully in the United States, but who have been arrested and booked into local law enforcement custody for a crime. Once identified through fingerprint matching, ICE prioritizes its response to focus on criminal aliens convicted of the most serious crimes first - such as those with convictions for major drug offenses, murder, rape and kidnapping. In accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act, ICE continues to take action on aliens subject to removal as resources permit.

“Last year, ICE prevented hundreds of convicted criminal aliens in Sacramento County from being released back into the community,â€

This is where they make their biggest mistake

They need to work to remove these morons BEFORE they commit crimes

That is where our govt is fubar

Every illegal here is a criminal. That is the bottom line.

I'm glad they are doing that however they fail to mention how after being deported they turn around and come right back!

So they spend all this money for these new programs to get out the bad illegals after the fact. They could save money by stopping them at the border and When they get pulled over to ask for papers,Good or bad they all have committed a crime by comming here and then steal from our goverment..Can they really say that not one illegal has ever used our system to suck us dry.I know they say we come to work but its really I come to suck you poor..

Have the illegals out numbered their Legal Hispanic/Latino/Mexicans yet?

When do you think they will sue over the biometrics?
It will be if you look into it its only mexicans that the bio is signaling out..its all about our color...Can you hear it?
