Last week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released its long-awaited response to last year’s report from the Secure Communities Task Force. Secure Communities, the Obama Administration’s signature immigration enforcement program, has been fiercely criticized by law enforcement experts, state governors and legislatures, community leaders and members of Congress as a deportation dragnet that has systematically failed to distinguish between hardworking immigrants and serious criminals. Despite the program’s intention of identifying serious, violent criminals for deportation, 26% of those deported under it have committed no crime, and 56%–more than half—have committed either no crime or a minor crime like a traffic offense.
