SECURE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM NABS US CITIZENS

According to an article on washingtonpost.com:  “Four U.S. citizens were erroneously arrested in Southern California recently through the federal immigration enforcement program called Secure Communities, the American Civil Liberties Union said Wednesday.”

It looks like in certain parts of the country, if one speaks with an accent (s)he should carry a US passport as well.  Secure Communities is a misnomer as it will likely lead to increased tension and decreased cooperation  between  members of immigrant communities and law enforcement.
