KYMA News 11... Yuma, AZ/El Centro, CA: "California's Trust Act passed the State Assembly on Thursday and is now off to the State Senate. The bill allows counties to opt out of the Secure Communities. ...


Californai State Senator Juan Vargas (D-40) is skeptical of the program. He says "in areas like San Diego, Imperial and Riverside counties, there's obviously a much larger hispanic population. So obviously the whole issue of racial profiling comes up."

...Vargas says "not everything that's legal is a good idea." He thinks Secure Communities is one of them."
