If you had a DUI in Washington State. and you did not show up for your trial. and they catch you in Mobile. AL. and you are entered in the NCIC because of your DUI in Washington State. the officers in Mobile will hold you. and send you back to Washington State for your trial. But if you jump bail and do not show up for your immigration hearing or for your deportation proceeding. you are not treated the same way. your information is not currently being entered into the NCIC. So I have been raising this and talking about it for quite some time now. and I have raised It with top officials in the Department of Homeland Security. and they say they are working on it and trying to enter the names faster. I know they as of December of last year they only had about 15.000 names entered into the Immigration Violators File of the NCIC which is really pathetically small. We ought to have them all of the absconder immigration violator files entered in there. This amendment would provide $1 million to make sure those names are entered into the system. Tomorrow we will proceed. hopefully. to call that amendment up and I will seek to have it made a part of the appropriations bill that is moving forward.
