Councilmember Cheh speaks with Councilmember Mendelson (L) and Mayor Vincent Gray (R) before a press conference on the U.S. Immigration Enforcement and Customs agency’s decision to implement the “secure” communities program, which would require local police departments to share arrest information, including fingerprint data, with federal immigration authorities. The federal government has been rolling out the program on a state-by-state basis and officials are expected to activate in for DC tomorrow. This past fall, Mayor Gray signed an executive order to stop the program.
