The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) announced that via their Secure Communities Program, that it has identified and deported over 110,000 criminal aliens who were apprehended by state and local law enforcement.
USICE officials estimate that the program will be implemented in every state by 2011 and be available to every law enforcement agency across the country within 2 years from then.
The program managed by the USICE, the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ), and participating state and local law enforcement agencies check the digital fingerprints of all individuals arrested and booked against immigration records and other criminal databases to determine if detainees are subject to deportation and/or happen to be immigration fugitives.
