HAZLETON, Pennsylvania -- Mayor Lou Barletta plans to have city police certified as immigration enforcement agents, despite claims from opponents to his Illegal Immigration Relief Act that immigration enforcement is strictly a federal task.
Barletta said he learned about a 1996 amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act and an immigration enforcement training and certification program offered by the bureau during a trip to Washington, D.C., in December.
