They can also make connections and become more deeply involved in the criminal world. (source)

Illegal aliens can be released instead of being held until federal authorities collect them for deportation.

The bill also bans local law enforcement from being deputized to enforce immigration law and blocks them from asking about a suspect’s immigration status. Continue reading
