Massachusetts state troopers may soon be allowed to arrest immigrants who are in the state illegally. Currently, troopers have no power to detain people for violations of their immigration status. Troopers currently can call federal authorities for a check of their immigration status, and detain them if federal officials request it. But Gov. Mitt Romney's office reportedly says the governor has worked out a deal with federal officials under which troopers will have the power to arrest. About three dozen troopers will be given the authority after they complete a month-long training program. The agreement, which is expected to be announced this week, is being criticized by immigrants rights groups. Ali Noorani, executive director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, says it raises concerns about racial profiling. newsmax.com
