The latest available data from the Justice Department show a marked decline in criminal immigration prosecutions processed in federal district courts.
As of March 2012, prosecutions resulting from referrals by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were down 12 percent compared with last year's figures, while criminal prosecutions resulting from investigations by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) fell 6 percent. For full details, go to:
