Immigrant advocates demand update on jail accord

LOS ANGELES

Immigrant advocates are seeking information on negotiations between Los Angeles County and federal officials on a partnership that lets sheriff's personnel screen inmates' immigration status.

A group of Southern California immigrant rights groups Tuesday asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release information on the ongoing negotiations to revise the program that was implemented in 2005.

The advocates oppose the program, which the federal government announced plans to revise in July.

Last week, ICE said 55 law enforcement agencies across the country had signed up to participate in the revised program.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is still negotiating with ICE. A report to the board of supervisors this month claimed the new agreement would heap more work on the department.
