7News asks whether prosecutors should weigh immigration consequences
Original: 7NEWS POLL | Should prosecutors consider immigration consequences when charging suspects?
Washington-area station 7News (WJLA) is running a poll asking whether prosecutors should consider immigration consequences when deciding what charges to bring against suspects. The question touches on a live debate in several US jurisdictions, where some progressive prosecutors have pledged to factor deportation risks into charging decisions, a practice critics say creates a two-tier system and supporters say protects immigrant communities. Responses and debate are circulating around the poll.
Why now: Immigration enforcement and prosecutorial discretion are prominent political issues in the US right now
