Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) have called on the Department of Homeland Security to sever its ties with Arizona police in response to the state's new immigration enforcement law.
Calling Arizona's recently-enacted law requiring police to question and verify the citizenship of anyone they reasonably suspect to be an illegal immigrant "appaling," three leaders of the Hispanic Caucus wrote Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to demand the termination of its immigration-enforcement partnerships with law enforcement entities in the state.
“The federal government should not be an accessory to the unconstitutional actions of the Arizona state government,” Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) said in a statement. “By continuing to work with Arizona police departments operating under SB 1070, the Department is implicitly condoning the shameful tactics authorized by the new law."
Roybal-Allard was joined in signing the letter by CHC Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) and Immigration Task Force Chairman Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).
"While we applaud your recent statement opposing the new law, we ask that the Department of Homeland Security immediately suspend its 287(g) and Secure Communities programs in Arizona," the letter states.
The 287(g) and Secure Communities programs are database-sharing agreements that give local law enforcement agencies instant access to federal immigration databases. According to information provided by Roybal-Allard's office, DHS currently has a total of 13 such agreements with jurisdictions throughout Arizona.
DHS has maintained that it is studying the civil rights implications of the Arizona law, which will inform the government's actions going forward.
UnConstitutional MA.
it’s about time for these idiots to be told that they swore an oath for this country not Mexico.
what part of illegal do they not understand
The enemy within.
Extraordinary, members of the US Congress demanding that the Secretary of Homeland Security not follow federal law which they (collectively) passed.
They don’t see them as illegal, they see each and every one of them as future Democrat voters
It’s just “appaling,”
Exactly, my thoughts as well. And by what authority is a Caucus in Congress asking a Secretary of the Exectutive branch to ignore that law.
Folks a civil is coming. It is just a matter of time. We are rapidly losing the country as we know and love it.
Who else would they be playing to?

How more blatantly racist can a group be?
nail on head there sarah
I don’t get it. Are they complete idiots or just brain dead?
When are the white members of congress going to start a Congressional White Caucus?
“How more blatantly racist can a group be?”
Well, they could call their group “The Race,” but hide it in their native language, like “La Raza.”
Hmmmm.
What other fill-in-the blank Caucus?
Why do they think this is not racist, when THAT is all it is?
Yes!
Maybe they should go to Pinnacle Peak's and do just that:
Any crackers’s in this parasitic group of socialists?
