Newark, NEW JERSEY: Tancredo calls immigration policy a factor in slayings

NEWARK, New Jersey -- Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo on Monday accused city officials of complicity in the execution-style slayings of three college students by failing to report the prior arrests of two suspects to immigration authorities.

"If the alleged assailants are found guilty of these brutal crimes, Newark and its political leadership share a degree of culpability," Tancredo said.

Representatives of several groups -- including You Don't Speak for Me, the 9/11 Families for a Secure America and Citizens for Immigration Control -- joined the Republican presidential candidate in calling for an end to policies that bar local police from seeking and sharing information about a suspect's immigration status.
