Far-left working to block Napolitano's "Secure Communities" program

The "Secure Communities" program from the Department of Homeland Security is Janet Napolitano's kinder, gentler alternative to the 287g program. That's not good enough for the far-left (link). Yesterday they released the following:

[T]he National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the Immigration Justice Clinic of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (of Yeshiva University) filed a lawsuit demanding records related to the little-known United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) "Secure Communities" program that further involves local and state police in federal immigration enforcement. The filing also marks the launch of "Uncovering the Truth," a weeklong national campaign of coordinated actions and advocacy in more than ten cities to end ICE-police collaboration.

"The passage of S.B. 1070 in Arizona should be proof enough of the dangerous and disastrous nature of ICE-police collaboration programs like the so-called Secure Communities program," said Pablo Alvarado, NDLON Executive Director. "The President should heed his own advice and act responsibly by reclaiming the federal government's exclusive authority over the nation's immigration laws. By terminating all police and ICE partnerships, the President can help restore community safety and protect civil rights and due process for all."

At the same time as the far-left opposes almost any form of immigration enforcement, they also push comprehensive immigration reform. The latter is sold as having... increased enforcement, and the far-left promotes it in completely bad faith: if it passes, they'll oppose its enforcement provisions just as they oppose enforcement now.
