Tagged: California, crime, Escondido, police, populationPosted on: June 24th, 2007“A disproportionately high number of suspected illegal immigrants picked up for crimes countywide in May were arrested in Escondido, according to a North County Times analysis of data from the Escondido Police Department and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A quarter of all the suspected illegal immigrants detained by immigration agents at all seven of the countys jails in May had been arrested in Escondido, the data show. With 141,000 people, though, the city represents only about 5 percent of the total county population, estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau at 2.9 million.”
