Legal Thoughts on Operation Streamline

In 2005 the Department of Justice enacted Operation Streamline, and began treating undocumented entrants as felons. Operation Streamline is a federal program in the southwestern United States that fast tracks undocumented immigrants through the criminal justice system. Prior to 2005, undocumented immigrants were sent almost exclusively through the civil immigration system. Now, prosecutors and judges are left with no discretion, and even first-time offenders are "charged" with a federal felony under the zero tolerance policy.
