CRS Report on Immigration Law Enforcement

Continuing the work of examining issues of U.S. Immigration Law, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) has released a report on the role of state and local law enforcement agencies in the enforcement of immigration law. The CRS report mainly dealt with role of state and local law enforcement in the investigations, arrest and detention of all immigration violators by excluding discussion on the prosecution, adjudication or removal of aliens who violate law. It also dwells on some of the policy and legal issues that may facilitate an increased role of state and local law officials in the enforcement of immigration law. Additionally, the current administrative efforts to involve state and local law enforcement entities in enforcement of immigration law are lucidly discussed upon.
