Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles

CHIRLA has released a series of fact sheets on immigration and its enforcement at the local level. These fact sheets addresses “Special Order 40” which takes a look at an LAPD policy that helps prevent discrimination against immigrants. The second flier, “The 287(g) Program in Southern California” takes a critical look at agreements between local law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The third flier, “Beyond Myths and Stereotypes: Facts about Immigration and Crime” shares information from recent academic research which demonstrates that immigrants have low rates of crime in California, in Los Angeles, and across the nation.
