[Term] Secure Communities [Description] 
The Secure Communities mandate is to improve public safety by identifying and removing criminal aliens from the United States by using arrest data - such as a fingerprint scan - shared by state and local law enforcement officials regardless of guilt or innocence. After the data is crosschecked with immigration and FBI databases, ICE officers determine whether the person will be transferred to their custody and processed for deportation.
