NEW POLICY PREVENTS PENNSYLVANIA POLICE FROM
ARRESTING ILLEGALS
By Steven Ahle, 2/8/19.
Pennsylvania has set down an entirely
new set of rules for dealing with possible illegal aliens in the state that
like other sanctuary states could give criminal illegal aliens a second or
third chance to harm residents of the state.
When will Americans get tired of being
third class citizens in their own country? The state claims the new policy is
the result of pro-immigration groups accusing police of racial profiling.
They will not even be allowed to ask for
identification unless they are citing or arresting someone. But, will that
apply to everyone or just not to suspected illegals?
From The Daily Caller: If a Pennsylvania
state trooper pulls a car over for a traffic violation, that officer can no longer ask for identification
solely to check on the suspect’s immigration status. In fact, troopers are
barred from arresting any foreign national for simply being an illegal
immigrant.
If a trooper does arrest an immigrant, law enforcement is required to
inform the suspect of their right to contact the consulate of their home
government. Troopers must also now file a comprehensive report about any
interaction they have with an immigrant, detailing the reasons for their
interaction or detention. The rule is meant to track any patterns of racial
profiling by the officer.
Police are
still capable of notifying ICE if they believe an individual is undocumented.
However, a trooper could only do so after their interaction with a foreign
national is over i.e. the person has already driven away after being pulled
over for a traffic violation.
The
guidelines follow accusations of police wielding unrestricted authority to
identify and arrest suspected illegal immigrants.
