The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office is joining the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Secure Communities Initiative. The program helps U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials identify illegal immigrants who are being held in state prisons and local jails by comparing the inmate's fingerprints to those in federal immigration databases. Dekalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris told the Reporter this quickens the process of identifying illegal immigrants. This makes 30 of 67 counties in Alabama part of the program.
