Atty. Demands SJ Police Turn In Illegal Immigrants

Carolyn Hileman* | April 7, 2007

(AP) SAN JOSE An activist attorney wants a judge to compel San Jose police to follow state law and turn over to immigration authorities some suspects who might be in the U.S. illegally. The claim, filed last week on behalf of San Jose residents Barbara Allen and Carol Joyal, demands that San Jose police contact federal authorities when suspects believed to be undocumented immigrants are arrested in connection with drug-related offenses. “We’re re-arresting illegal aliens several times, and that takes a lot of police time, judicial time, jail space, and taxpayer money,” said Allen, who in the past has organized rallies against amnesty for illegal immigrants.The Voice
