This testimony compilation is from the February 25, 2015 hearing on "A Review of the Department of Homeland Security's Policies and Procedures for the Apprehension, Detention, and Release of Non-Citizens Unlawfully Present in the United States," held before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. From the Statement of Scott Jones: "The problem with the current immigration policy can be simply stated as there is NO coherent, sustainable immigration policy. Worse than that, there is anti-policy (an unwillingness to support even current promulgated policy or challenge contrary policies), and each State has their own policy and laws on immigration. […] I and most other public safety leaders in California have no interest in enforcing immigration law. Our focus is keeping communities safe and ensuring that the entire community (including our undocumented population) is protected and willing to call us if they need help. Of course, that presupposes that there are people or entities that ARE concerned with enforcing immigration law. That are interested in protecting our communities from dangerous undocumented immigrants. That are adequately identifying them, detaining them when necessary, and removing criminals that the rest of my community needs to be protected from. None of that is happening to any satisfactory degree." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Scott Jones, Michael Ronnebeck, Jamiel Shaw, and Gregory Chen.
