Immigrant Rights Groups Protest Secure Communities Program In LA

LOS ANGELES, CA - AUGUST 15: Protesters with Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) hold signs as they march during an anti Secure Communities program demonstration on August 15, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. The demonstrators were picketing in front of St. Anne's Residential Facility, where Homeland Security advisory council's Task Force on Secure Communities was holding a hearing. The program, which was created in 2008, calls for police to submit suspects' fingerprints to US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement so they can be cross-checked with federal deportation order.
