Mexican Consul Enrique Escorza says there are misconceptions about the policy, which requires police to check the legal status of suspected illegal immigrants questioned for a crime or traffic violation.
Escorza says some immigrants believe they can't report a crime out of concern that they will be asked to show they have documents to be in the country. Escorza says that is not the case.
A Prince William County police spokeswoman says the meeting is one in dozens of attempts by Police Chief Charlie Deane to "get out the facts" about the immigration crackdown.
The 7 p.m. meeting will be held at the old Kmart building in Woodbridge at the intersection of Routes 123 and 1. The meeting is open to the public.
