Another Reprehensible Instance of Local Police Punishing Officers for Doing Their Jobs
By Dan Cadman
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents engaged in street arrests in the city of Chicago recently felt compelled to call 9-1-1 and ask for police assistance in the course of two of their operations. We now have it on good authority that the police department is contemplating disciplinary action against the officers who responded to the emergency calls. The Chicago police hierarchy is going out of its way to take action against officers who responded to a call to safeguard the public.
DOJ Proposes Rule to Collect DNA from Illegal Migrants Who Are Now Exempted
By Andrew R. Arthur
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is proposing to amend a regulation (implementing a federal statute) that exempts the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from collecting DNA samples from certain immigration detainees. This amendment would apply primarily to aliens who are detained after entering the United States illegally or without proper documents, whose DNA is not now routinely collected. If enacted, it will better enable the government to identify aliens seeking entry who have a criminal record, or are suspects in crimes.

New Emigration (from the U.S.) Measure Shows Japan Is Favored, Iran Is not
By David North
International migration is a two-way street. We at CIS tend to spend much more time writing about the arrivals of migrants, rather than their departures. And we are much more likely to deal with non-voluntary departures (deportations) than the voluntary ones. There is one steady stream of voluntary departures that could be subject, to an extent, to public policy.I am referring to the overseas flow of America's Social Security benefit payments.
Overturned Migrant Boat on the Mexican Coast: Bigger Picture Takeaways
By Todd Bensman
In an era when photos of migrant tragedies become emblematic and seize the world by the heart strings comes a boat-capsizing off southern Mexico’s Pacific coast. Local news photos show two dead Cameroonian migrants washed up on the sand after a lamentable mishap. There is strong anecdotal evidence, as I have reported here at CIS, that thousands more Africans than usual this year saw all of this going on with the Central Americans and, on that primary basis, decided to launch their own long journeys to illegally breach and exploit the American border loopholes at this moment of weakness.
