Arkansas State Police to receive federal immigration training

Arkansas State Police troopers will be trained by federal agents to detect forged identity documents carried by suspected illegal immigrants, but will not have the power to arrest them for being in the country, officials said Tuesday.

Troopers in the field, radio operators and those at driver’s licensing stations will receive training from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of an agreement signed Monday. If troopers find a suspected forgery, they could call federal agents at ICE’s Law Enforcement Support Center who can verify documents and check a suspect’s immigration status.”*
