Secure Communities Officially Caliornia Law

Its official, pretty much like AZ now. So far, apparently 27% (8933) of I.C.E. arrests under this mandate in the state of California are of non criminals.

"Local communities have been largely left out of the decision-making," said Magnus, the Richmond police chief.

sounds like scary

People, open your eyes. It's because the governor is a Democrat. The immigration "advocates" are silent on this, as well as the "Spanish" language media because someone requested that they do not raise a ruckus. Because the Obama administration didn't realize how many people would resist this program; the moment people tried to fight back, his administration changed it from voluntary to *mandatory*:

The network has the support of Gov. Jerry Brown, who as state attorney general ratified and repeatedly defended the agreement with ICE to launch the network statewide.

This week, six rural Northern California counties - Alpine, Del Norte, Lassen, Sierra, Siskiyou and Trinity - became the last of California's 58 counties to link up. The agency plans have to Secure Communities activated nationwide by 2013.

Criticism of the program caused consternation among federal immigration officials, according to internal ICE e-mails made public last week.

In May 2010, responding to questions raised in Santa Clara, one ICE official wrote of "defusing the situation before it escalates," and another wrote that Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, "is up in arms about this," according to e-mails obtained by a group called Uncover the Truth, which opposes the Secure Communities program.

A branch official with ICE, after giving Santa Clara authorities a more detailed explanation of the program, e-mailed that "our sense was that they were looking for political cover." But officials continued to fight back, and other states and cities across the country increasingly were joining them. Amid months of hand-wringing discussions, ICE tried to rework its national message about the program, and also sought to harden the federal government's arguments about the program being mandatory
