Police Wary of Immigration Crackdown in Georgia

Tagged:

“Police chiefs across Georgia are taking a hard look at the crackdown on illegal immigrants that the Georgia General Assembly passed Tuesday. Under one feature of the bill, some local police officers in Georgia would be able to assume extra powers — as federal immigration agents. Among police chiefs, the idea is as controversial as the overall bill.

The proposal calls on local police officers to become certified, through training paid for by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to do the work of federal immigration and customs agents, as part of the officers’ local policing.”
