From Times Wire Reports
Gov.-elect Deval Patrick said he would rescind a new agreement between the state and federal authorities that allows state troopers to arrest illegal immigrants.
The incoming governor said he thinks troopers have enough to do without having to also enforce the nation’s immigration laws.
On Dec. 13, Republican Gov. Mitt Romney signed the agreement with federal authorities.
