Watchdog pans Immigration and Customs Enforcement program, saying local officers inadequately trained, overseen

State and local police officers who enforce federal immigration laws are not adequately screened, trained or supervised, and the civil rights of the immigrants they deal with are not consistently protected, according to a report released Friday by the Department of Homeland Security inspector general.


The report by the department's internal watchdog was a sweeping review of a program run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Julia Preston reports.
