Abstract:

SCAAP is a federal program administered through the Bureau of Justice Assistance that provides funds to local law enforcement agencies. Law enforcement receives the money to jail undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of one felony or two misdemeanors. Congress is proposing cutting the program by more than 60 percent by 2012.
