More officers train for immigration enforcement

North Georgia police officers have begun new training to help them deport illegal immigrants. The Hall County Sheriff Department is the latest in Georgia to join the federal program called ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The training includes how to use Department of Homeland Security databases to identify criminals and illegal immigrants. Once they complete the course, officers will be able to begin deportation procedures for illegals already in their custody.
