On Feb 18th, 2009 a Press Conference was held at the UNC School of Law to present the findings of a joint study on the 287(g) program. A federal law granting local police and sheriffs the power to act as immigration officials when faced with dangerous criminals or terrorists has instead created a climate of racial profiling and community insecurity, according to researchers at the UNC School of Law Immigration and Human Rights Clinic. The team of law students, led by Deborah Weissman, Reef C. Ivey II Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of Clinical Programs at UNC School of Law, and Katherine Parker and Rebecca Headen, lawyers with the ACLU in North Carolina Legal Foundation, released a report on the 287(g) program in North Carolina titled The Policies and Politics of Local Immigration Enforcement Law on Feb. 18.
