Huffington Post: U.S. Immigration And Customs Enforcement Launches Hotline For Detained Undocumented Immigrants

 
U.S. Immigration And Customs Enforcement Launches Hotline For Detained Undocumented Immigrants

At a time when states such as Alabama and Arizona push for tougher immigration laws, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has launched a hotline for detainees who "may be U.S. citizens or victims of a crime."

ICE wants to "ensure that individuals being held by state or local law enforcement on immigration detainers are properly notified about their potential removal from the country and are made aware of their rights," according to a press release.

The 24-hour, 7-day toll-free hotline -- (855) 448-6903-- in English and Spanish, will be staffed by ICE personnel. Translation services will be available in several languages from 7 a.m. until midnight (Eastern) seven days a week. The initiative also includes a new detainer form meant to ensure that detainees are not held for longer than 48 hours as they wait to hear about their deportation status.

The initiative comes after a number of U.S. citizens were detained in immigration detention centers under the Secure Communities program, which is intended to detect undocumented immigrants who are arrested by local police, reported The New York Times.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently stripped the man who calls himself "America's Toughest Sheriff," Joe Arpaio, and his 100 deputies in Arizona of their federal powers to verify the immigration status of jailed inmates amid accusations of racial profiling and abuse of power since at least December 2009.

Last September, a similar hotline called the Deportation Family Support Hotline, was launched in Chicago, created by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and run by volunteers. According to ICIRR, during its trial period, the hotline also proved helpful in exposing scams directed at immigrants with deportation cases currently under review, answering questions about promises of reprieves from attorneys and notary publics that preyed on immigrants' unfamiliar with the law.

The Obama administration has said it seeks to improve the "immigration enforcement process and prioritize resources to focus on threats to public safety, repeat immigration law violators, recent border entrants, and immigration fugitives."

President Barack Obama took the time to visit U.S. troops in Hawaii during his Christmas vacation.
The President returned to his home state with the First Lady and their two daughters for the holidays. The White House reports he had Christmas dinner with his family Sunday night but took a trip to the Marine Corps Base Hawaii during the day.
Visiting U.S. troops has become an Obama family tradition since he was president-elect, according to Politico.
As you might imagine, the President and the First Lady took pictures with military personnel and their families and held lots of babies. Politico says one of those babies was eight-month-old Cooper Wall Wagner, who took the photo op up a notch. He reached for the president’s nose and stuck his fingers in the president’s mouth (view the slideshow above for the "hand in mouth moment"). source: HLN


Obama's a last-minute shopper too! Christmas Shopping

Obama's a last-minute shopper too!

NEED TO KNOW
  • President Obama makes a trip to a Washington suburb to get some last-minute items
  • He took first dog Bo with him and hit up PetSmart, Best Buy and a pizzeria
Even presidents make last-minute shopping trips.
President Obama, bogged down in payroll tax negotiations, took time out from his schedule Wednesday and hit up a shopping center in Alexandria, Virginia, CNN’s The 1600 Report says.
The president, who took along first dog Bo, made stops at PetSmart, a pizzeria and a Best Buy.
So what can Malia and Sasha expect under the tree this year? The video game "Just Dance 3," for one thing. (Hope you’re not reading this girls!)
"The girls beat me every time on these dance games," the president said at Best Buy. "But you'll never get a picture of me (playing) because I get graded F every time."
Always the comedian, Obama took out his credit card at the store and said, "Let's see if my credit card still works."

The total cost for the day out? Nearly $300, according to the blog.
