(Costa Mesa, CA) -- Hundreds of undocumented immigrants who have passed through the Costa Mesa jail system have been deported. Roughly a year ago, a new federal immigration officer was stationed at the jail to weed out people who were in the country illegally. It was part of a brand new program that trained law enforcement officers to enforce immigration laws. To date, more than 360 people who ran afoul of the law in Costa Mesa have been remove from the country, and more than a hundred others are currently going through the same process. Immigrant rights groups are not happy about what's going on in Costa Mesa, but a number of other communities are already implementing the same program at their jails.

If the rest of the state would follow this lead. LA, are you watching this?
