Now, Francisco "Pancho" Ramos Stierle could be deported, protesters and law enforcement officials say.

Federal agents put an immigration hold on the 36-year-old Oakland activist as he was detained in an Alameda County jail, said spokeswoman Virginia Kice of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement....

At some point after he was booked, however, his fingerprints were run through the federal Secure Communities immigration database and federal agents flagged him as an immigrant who could be subject to deportation....

It is routine now for police to transfer arrested immigrants to federal custody if they are living in the country illegally or commit a crime that makes them deportable. All Bay Area counties joined the Secure Communities fingerprint-sharing network last year. Friends believe that Ramos Stierle had been here on a student visa, but he dropped out of a UC Berkeley graduate program in 2008.

And one Bay Area county, Santa Clara, is now trying to get out of it, now that we know what it really is. "Support your local police, for a more efficient police state!" :grr: :banghead: :argh: :nuke:
