Couldn't Have Happened to a Nicer GuyToday on Huffington Post: "Toughest Sheriff in America" Stripped of ICE Agent Status More evidence that 287(g) is deeply flawed. Advocates, experts and many police have criticized the program and demands to end it have increased since the Obama administration's July announcement that it would expand the Bush-era program without instituting significant reforms. Over 500 organizations sent a letter to the president demanding an end to the program on the grounds that it has been misused by local law enforcement officials, like Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, to promote racial profiling.

Given that, please understand that you are responsible for the material you post on the comments portion of this blog.

One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party.

Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites.

I recently visited a podcast site and radio station that creates a lot of shows on issues like this one. If you go to radioproject.org, you can download any of the podcasts. Check it out!

Profiling of all types exist. How about when a customer walks onto a car lot, right away the salesman will make a unconcious decision as to whether he thinks that customer can afford to buy or not. It won't stop until Jesus comes back.

It is only the "tough on crime" members of law enforcment and the judicial system that your organization seems to despise. But when a pro-crime judge or officer of the law lets a criminal off easy and the innocent are victimized, there is no opposition from the ACLU. I pray for the day when the law-abiding will say ENOUGH and take the law into their own hands. We see what you do for the rights of the criminal, but when are you going to stand up for the innocent?
