Under new plan, police won't detain anyone NOT suspected of a felony
The LAPD will soon stop honoring federal requests to detain illegal
immigrants for deportation if they are only accused of low-level crimes,
under a new plan approved by the Los Angeles Police Commission today.
The plan should kick in early next month, the LA Times reports.
Commissioner John Mack called the new policy
an "enlightened first step," but immigrants rights groups are opposed to
it, arguing that it doesn't go far enough to protect illegal
immigrants.
