S-Comm’s Biometrics in force in Arizona

By immigrationprof

From DHS:

On Tuesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began using a federal information sharing capability in all Arizona counties that uses biometrics to identify aliens, both lawfully and unlawfully present in the United States, who are booked into local law enforcement’s custody for a crime.

This information sharing capability is part of Secure Communities – ICE’s comprehensive strategy to improve and modernize the identification and removal of criminal aliens from the United States.
