Illegal Immigration Still on Governor’s List of Priorities for 2011 - Oakton, VA Patch: "Gov. Bob McDonnell said he wants local law enforcement agents trained under a federal program that deputizes them to act as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to investigate criminal acts related to illegal immigration.
'Compared to some other states, Virginia has some pretty tough laws for illegal immigration,' McDonnell (R) said in an interview with Patch editors.
The federal program is called 287(g), and it calls for local law enforcement to operate with ICE under a memorandum of agreement. Currently, the Herndon, Loudoun, Manassas and Prince William County police departments have adopted such a memorandums of agreement." Jan. 11, 2011

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
