[Mpls] Pawlenty wants city immigrant policies repealed

[List Manager]

>From the PiPress:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty wants Minneapolis and St. Paul to repeal
policies that limit police officers' ability to ask people about their
immigration status.

Both cities have ordinances forbidding local police officers to do so,
except in specific circumstances.

In letters sent last week to the Minneapolis and St. Paul city council
presidents, Pawlenty said the ordinances are not responsible and may "impact
the security of the entire state and nation." He said the policies might
violate federal immigrant law.
