Rights Groups Submit Detailed Comments in Response to ICE “Secure Communities” Stakeholder Questionnaire

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), in conjunction with the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, responded this week to a request for comments from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The comments respond to Federal Register request for public comment to ICE’s draft questionnaire called Form 70-008 aimed at stakeholders of the new “Secure Communities” initiative. The new initiative is designed to increase information sharing between local departments of corrections, law enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and immigration authorities. Through increased information sharing, ICE believes that Secure Communities will be able to target “the most dangerous criminal aliens” for deportation. Blurring the lines between local enforcement and the federal immigration authorities can lead to racial profiling, increased incarceration and deportation of non-citizens with US Citizen family members and community ties
