Update From Prince William County

The Washington Post reports that fewer than 2 percent of people charged with crimes in Prince William County since the well-publicized crackdown on undocumented immigration began in March have turned out to be undocumented, Police Chief Charlie T. Deane told county supervisors yesterday.   County supervisors released a citizen survey on the policy. About 60 percent of residents are satisfied with how police are carrying out the illegal immigration policy. Fourteen percent of those surveyed are dissatisfied; 7 percent oppose the policy, and 17 percent provided no opinion. Satisfaction with the overall performance of the department decreased since last year, from 92 percent to 89 percent. Opinions about the police have become polarized along ethnic lines, with Hispanic residents much less satisfied than others.  97 percent of Hispanics were satisfied with police in 2005. This year, Hispanic satisfaction with police has decreased to 73 percent.
