The devolution of immigration policing authority from the federal to local governments represents a sharp break
with a long-established tradition of federal control over all aspects of immigration enforcement. In the past, state and
local police forces played only a supportive role in immigration affairs, sometimes sharing information about those
they had detained as criminal suspects or assisting in enforcement actions. The federal government could not require
local governments to do immigration policing. Police powers were constitutionally reserved for the states and their
jurisdictional subunits, an arrangement that provided localities with significant flexibility and autonomy. However,
with the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant
Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), the federal government has created an opening for localities to ask their police officers to
be trained by and to join the federal government in enforcing immi gration laws within the interior of the United States.
Thus, beginning in 2002, informal working relationships between local police and federal immigration agents have
developed. For example, some local police departments are now seeking formal training from federal immigration
authorities. Federal agents are also embedded in some police departments to assist in enforcement of drug and human
smuggling laws. A number of state prisons and local jails send the names of criminal suspects to federal authorities to
be checked for immigration violations. And an increasing number of police departments are electing to do their own
immigration status checks. Such an increased involvement of state and local police departments in immigrant affairs
