Hispanic DUIs, gang crime down in 287(g)-equipped Charlotte – North Carolina
Tagged: 287(g), book, Charlotte, crime, North CarolinaPosted on: April 4th, 2007“In the seven-month period following the implementation of its 287g immigration enforcement program, Charlotte, N.C. saw significant decreases in the number of Hispanics arrested for Driving Under the Influence DUI, the total number of DUI-related arrests among Hispanic persons and the amount of Hispanic gang-related crime, law enforcement personnel there said.
And with the launch of Nashville’s version of 287g – a program where local law enforcement officials run immigration checks on every foreign-born person booked into their jail – mere days away, Nashville’s own law enforcement community is hopeful that those decreases can be repeated here.”
