Dear Mr. Clark:

I am writing to request participation in the Delegation of Authority Program pursuant to 287(g) of

the Immigration and Naturalization Act. Given our past relationship with U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), this partnership will enable us to better serve and meet the needs
of the residents of Phoenix, Arizona.

I have been in communication with your office in Phoenix. Special Agent in Charge Alonzo
PeJia has been very helpful, supportive, and encouraging as our agencies continue to work
together in making our community safe of all of our residents. Under SAC PeJia's leadership,
we have partnered to address the affects that the violent criminal illegal alien has on our
community.

With his advice, we are requesting 287(g) training for the following units within the Phoenix
Police Department:

Six Phoenix Police Department detectives and one sergeant who will be assigned to the
Arizona Department of Public Safety's Gang Intelligence Immigration Team Enforcement
Mission (GIITEM) Unit that will be conducting investigations involving criminal illegal
aliens.

Three Phoenix Police Department detectiV'es assigned to the Homicide Unit whose focus
is to work with the Mexican government in securing extradition and criminal prosecution
of suspects who have committed homicides in Phoenix and are Mexican citizens.

By participating in this training program. our Department will be allowed to enter into a
Memorandum of Understanding that will enable us to partiCipate with ICE in identifying criminal
illegal aliens who possess a risk to the residents of Phoenix. I look forward to your speedy
