Rogers backs police training for enforcing immigration – Kentucky
Tagged: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Kentucky, policePosted on: September 27th, 2007“Kentucky’s longest-serving congressman voiced his support yesterday for local police departments to seek training to enforce federal immigration laws.
Gov. Ernie Fletcher could soon take a position on the issue as well.
Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Somerset, said federal immigration authorities are underfunded and understaffed and will never get a handle on the several million undocumented immigrants in the United States without help from state and local police officers around the nation. Rogers urged homeland security directors and other officials to seek federal funding, for training from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.”
