Did L.A. Police Officials Subvert U.S. Immigration Laws? Full Disclosure Network(R) Documentary News Video (Online)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Full Disclosure Network® (FDN) is releasing a ten minute video news documentary online (URL: http://tiny.cc/FDNews), covering the historic conflict between Federal and local law enforcement agencies over enforcement policies on U.S. immigration laws. The conflict became public after the 9-11 terrorist attack that was blamed on foreign visitors who were in the country illegally. The little known LAPD policy called "Special Order 40" that prohibits local police officers from enforcing U.S. Immigration laws came under fire and has since become the target of a court challenge by the Judicial Watch organization Sturgeon vs. Bratton and is headed for the U.S. Supreme Court.
L.A. Police officials featured in the FDN video describe their views and interpretation of the police policy that, still to this day, restricts LAPD officers from enforcing U.S. Immigration law. This ten minute video can be seen online at this URL: http://tiny.cc/FDNews.
The FDN video news documentary features political appointees who served during a period of prolonged and massive illegal immigration in the nation's second largest city. They describe their interpretation of immigration "status" and their policies. Those appearing in the video are:
