Federal immigration authorities are clamping down on illegal immigrants in Alabama and across the Southeast, increasing the number of people detained or deported and more aggressively pursuing illegal aliens who fail to leave the country.
During the federal government's 2008 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement service deported 14,331 illegal immigrants who were picked up in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee - up sharply from 9,842 deportations in 2007 and 4,496 in 2006.
