移民犯罪项目（CAP）的目标是通过促进联邦政府与地方政府的伙伴关系，将严重的罪犯驱逐出境，从而改善安全。事实上，美国国会已经明确表示，移民和海关执法局（ICE）“在移民执法方面的优先级不应该高于将有严重犯罪记录的外国人驱逐出美国……”沃伦研究所根据ICE在德克萨斯州欧文市的当地合作伙伴关系对逮捕数据进行的分析表明，ICE没有遵循国会的授权，将资源集中在驱逐有严重犯罪记录的移民上。
The goal of the Criminal Alien Program (CAP) is to improve safety by promoting federal-local partnerships to target serious criminal offenders for deportation. Indeed, the U.S. Congress has made clear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “should have no greater immigration enforcement priority than to remove deportable aliens with serious criminal histories from the United States…” The Warren Institute’s analysis of arrest data pursuant to an ICE-local partnership in Irving, Texas demonstrates that ICE is not following Congress’ mandate to focus resources on the deportation of immigrants with serious criminal histories.
This study also shows that immediately after Irving, Texas law enforcement had 24-hour access (via telephone and video teleconference) to ICE in the local jail, discretionary arrests of Hispanics for petty offenses — particularly minor traffic offenses — rose dramatically. This report probes the marked rise in low-level arrests of Hispanics. Specifically, the report examines whether there was an increase in lawless behavior in the Hispanic community in Irving or whether there was a change in local policing priorities. The Warren Institute’s study of arrest data finds strong evidence to support claims that Irving police engaged in racial profiling of Hispanics in order to filter them through the CAP screening system.
