RATINGS:  Program Description One in three immigrants in the US is an illegal alien. Fifty percent of Mexicans and Central Americans are illegal aliens. More than half of arrivals since 2000 are estimated to be illegal. The Pew Hispanic Study says that greater than one fourth of drug offenders sentenced federally are non-citizens. According to the GAO 27% of the Federal prison population is alien and ICE figures show that 22% of state and local inmates are aliens. The types of crimes illegals commit include human smuggling and trafficking, ID fraud, identity theft, drug smuggling and distribution, gang crime, immigration benefits fraud and illegal employment. The CIS Immigration Law Enforcement series arms law enforcement with the knowledge, information and facts needed to deal with these issues. Sheriff Charles Jenkins of Frederick County, Maryland's agency is participating in both 287(g) and Secure Communities. This installment of the CIS Immigration Law Enforcement series will focus on the impact that Frederick County's 287(g) has had on removing illegal aliens from their community and making their community safer. This program will describe the implementation and impact of their jail-based 287(g) program in a "before and after" format showing their booking, intake and processing procedure before and with 287(g). Sheriff Jenkins will also provide statistics on detainers and outcomes. This program is pre-recorded but viewers are able to ask their questions and have them answered by our experts via the online Immigration Law Enforcement Forum.
