New policy reports foreign-born inmates to immigration officials
LEXINGTON, Ky. — A new policy in Fayette County to report all foreign-born jail inmates to federal immigration officials has some immigrants scared and confused.
Immigrant advocates says people have closed bank accounts, moved to other towns and kept their children out of school for fear they or relatives will be deported.
The unwritten policy began on Feb. 1.
A spokeswoman for the mayor says during booking, jail officers ask anyone arrested if they were born in the United States.
Deputies then send a daily report to immigration officials on all foreign-born inmates.
