Federal Biometric ID Program "Secure Communities" Expands to its 27th State

Activist Post: Federal Biometric ID Program "Secure Communities" Expands to its 27th State: "ICE announced in February, 2011 that it would begin using biometric identification as a key component of an information-sharing nexus with 58 California counties meant to identify aliens who are booked for crimes by local police. However, a Freedom of Information Act request by several justice organizations revealed a program involving extensive Homeland Security coordination to expand the Secure Communities biometrics program to include even law-abiding American citizens."
