Members of Arizona’s Hispanic community demonstrated Friday against a senior White House official for defending the controversial Secure Communities program in a television documentary.

Cecilia Muñoz, the White House director of Intergovernmental Affairs, made the statement on the PBS program “Lost in Detention” that aired late last month.

The S-COMM program, which requires state and local law enforcement to share all detainees’ fingerprints with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has driven deportations of undocumented immigrants to record levels.
