Roswell has received a payment of $68,514 from the U.S. Department of Justice for costs associated with illegal immigration enforcement.

The grant is to help compensate for the city's expenses for detaining undocumented criminal immigrants who have at least one felony conviction or two misdemeanor convictions and were held for at least four consecutive days.

The funds can be used for correctional purposes only.
