>From the PiPress: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty wants Minneapolis and St. Paul to repeal policies that limit police officers' ability to ask people about their immigration status.
Both cities have ordinances forbidding local police officers to do so, except in specific circumstances. In letters sent last week to the Minneapolis and St. Paul city council presidents, Pawlenty said the ordinances are not responsible and may "impact the security of the entire state and nation." He said the policies might violate federal immigrant law. http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/9548480.htm David Brauer List manager REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
