Los Angeles County is scrapping a decade-long partnership with federal immigration authorities that aimed to track down and deport undocumented immigrants who've committed serious crimes.

It was meant to target only the most serious crimes, but critics complain the program unfairly ensnared people convicted of relatively minor offenses.
