Immigrant Policy Creates Fear In Houston Community – Texas
Tagged: citizenship, crime, police“The climate today is one of terror in the community. You can feel the tension,” said Teodoro Aguiluz, executive director of the Central American Resource Center.
“Immigrants living in Houston told the city’s police department that a new policy requiring officers to ask all arrested suspects whether they’re citizens has created fear among the immigrant community.
City officials announced earlier this month that police would work more closely with federal officials to identify illegal immigrants involved in crimes. Under the policy, all arrested suspects are asked about citizenship. Those without identification are fingerprinted and their criminal histories are checked in a national database.”
