Illegal Aliens Sue ICE Over Arrests
Saturday, October 31 @ 02:45:35 EDT by jean (376 reads) | A group of illegal immigrants recently spared deportation by a sympathetic Connecticut judge are suing the federal agents that arrested them, claiming their constitutional rights were violated in the raids that led to their apprehension.
The illegal aliens, who live in New Haven, assert in a federal lawsuit that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents violated their rights during an early-morning fugitive operation in 2007 that led to the arrest of 30 people. Seventeen of them were subsequently charged with being in the U.S. illegally and a group of law students from a nearby Ivy League university represented them pro bono.

Criminal deportees often fly unescorted
Thursday, October 01 @ 02:48:08 EDT by alipac (395 reads) | Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials routinely put illegal immigrants unescorted on commercial flights for deportation, including some who are sex offenders or have other criminal records, according to documents and field agent accounts.
The practice has prompted complaints from a key U.S. senator and ICE union leaders, who contend that putting illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes on commercial airlines unescorted poses a severe public safety risk.

Fingerprint database obscures histories of illegal immigrants
Monday, September 28 @ 10:40:35 EDT by alipac (570 reads) | He is an illegal immigrant with at least eight
aliases and an arrest record in California that includes attempted
murder, robbery, theft, drugs and exhibiting a firearm.
Yet if Andres Maldonado Nava was booked into a local jail on a
minor charge — any Class C misdemeanor — before he became infamous for
his alleged role in the death of Houston Police officer Henry Canales
in June, the fingerprint check system would not have shown any of his
criminal or immigration history.

L.A. County inmates to have immigration status checked as part of new program
Friday, August 28 @ 02:04:07 EDT by jean (823 reads) | All inmates booked into jails throughout Los
Angeles County will have their immigration status checked beginning
today, but federal officials said they don’t have the resources to
deport all illegal immigrants with criminal records who are identified.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement will prioritize illegal
immigrants with prior convictions for violent crimes, including murder,
rape, kidnapping and robbery. Though immigration officials plan to
assess every case individually, they said some with less serious
criminal records may be released back into the community.

Coalition Demands Ending 287(g)
Friday, August 28 @ 01:57:38 EDT by jean (863 reads) | As prosecutors seek the death penalty for an
illegal immigrant gangbanger who murdered a high school football star a
day after being released from prison, hundreds of Latino rights groups
demand ending the program that should have saved the teen jock’s life.
The local-federal partnership known as 287(g) calls on local police
to notify federal immigration authorities whenever they arrest an
illegal immigrant. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) then takes
custody and begins deportation proceedings to rid the U.S. of violent
criminals living in the country illegally.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement Lets Illegals Go
Wednesday, August 05 @ 02:21:42 EDT by alipac (722 reads) | EDITORIAL: Politics on ICE
In an apparent vendetta against a sheriff in Arizona who is tough on illegal immigration, the Obama administration has crossed another boundary. The treatment of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is yet another sign of the administration’s dangerous hyperpoliticization of federal law enforcement.
In the course of a wider crime sweep on July 23 and 24 that netted numerous arrests, the sheriff’s department requested permission from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain 13 illegal immigrants and transfer them to ICE’s custody. The end result, amidst conflicting stories, was that all 13 illegals were let go.
