    Dear Assistant Secretary Myers:

    I am writing to request authorization from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to participate in
    the Delegation of Authority Program pursuant to 287(g) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act.
    Given our past relationship with LC.E., this partnership will enable us to better serve and meet the needs
    of the residents of Waukegan, Illinois.

    I have been in communication with your Chicago office and have spoken at length with Assistant Special
    Agent in Charge, (bjUi). (b.Xl)(:c. . who has been very helpful and encouraging. With his advice I am
    proposing the following:

    Train two (2) Waukegan Police officers with a minimum of two years experience, who have
    passed an I.C.E. approved security background investigation.

    Establish an Identification Review Officer Program at the Waukegan Police Department


    Officers in this program will be responsible for interviewing and processing suspected criminal
    immigrants.

    Training facilities are available at the Waukegan Police Department, where instructors can utilize
    computer training aids, videos and any other materials they may need for classroom instruction.

    If approved, the Waukegan Police Deparunent will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding that will
    enable us to participate with LC.E. in identifying criminal immigrants who pose a risk to the citizens of
    Waukegan. I look forward to your speedy endorsement of this request and moving forward with this
    program for the benefit of aU.

    Dear Mayor Sabonjian:

    On July 17,2007, Waukegan Chief of Police William Biang and then-Mayor Richard H. Hyde
    submitted a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requesting participation
    in the 287(g) delegation of authority program. The 287(g) program cross-designates state and
    local officers to enforce immigration law, as authorized, through the Immigration and Nationality
    Act. The letter requested that ICE train two Waukegan officers in order to establish an
    Identification Review Officer Program at the Waukegan Police Department.

    On January 6,2009, Deputy Chief Daniel L. Greathouse infonned ICE that the Waukegan Police
    Department was withdrawing their request to participate in the 287(g) program due to budget
    constraints and the fact that the department will not be hiring any new officers in the near future.

    ICE will continue to work with you to seek a mutually beneficial resolution for the specific
    issues facing your community by utilizing the ICE ACCESS program. Other ICE ACCESS
    enforcement options include, but are not limited to: teaming with ICE to fI--- get specific
    challenges such as gangs or document fraud; the presence of a Criminal j ~n Program (CAP)
    team in local detention facilities to identify criminal aliens; or, training to :ilize the ICE Law
    Enforcement Support Center (LESC), which provides officers the ability inquire about an
    individual's immigration status and criminal history. (b)(6), (b)(7)(C)

    ICE recognizes we have a shared public safety mission with local law em ·cement and we )k
    forward to working with you to improve on this mission. Combining Fee al, state, ~)~ (b)(7)(C)
    resources has proven successful in safeguarding the public and we want t mild on that su ss
    by responding to the law enforcement communities that seek ICE assistance.

    Sincerely,
