Shocking News! Criminal Immigration Prosecutions in Border Region Go Up, Up, and Up!

By immigrationprof

The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University reported that immigration cases make up more than half (58%) of all federal prosecutions in April 2008. TRAC said that “The very heavy federal emphasis on immigration cases became especially notable in February, March and April and is concentrated in selected judicial districts along the border with Mexico. The surge in this area is being advanced under a program called `Operation Streamline.'”
