“Everyone is afraid,” said Byron Flores, 26, who has lived in Herndon since immigrating illegally from Honduras three years ago. The number of illegal immigrants reporting crime is likely to plummet, he said, for fear that the police will ask for their papers.

“Herndon’s council voted last week to apply to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for enrollment in the agency’s “Section 287(g)” program, which trains local police officers to determine whether criminal suspects in custody are illegal immigrants. Officers certified by the program can detain them and even begin deportation proceedings before turning cases over to the federal agency. Seven state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide have joined the program. A dozen more are seeking to enroll officers.

The prospect of Herndon’s entry into the program has again placed the town near the epicenter of the national debate on immigration policy. About a quarter of its 23,000 residents are Latino immigrants, according to census data.”
