DECATUR, Ala. (AP) — Authorities in Decatur say four people have been convicted of misdemeanor offenses for violating Alabama's new law on illegal immigration.

The Decatur Daily reports (http://bit.ly/njed6u ) that the four pleaded guilty Monday in city court to failing to have the proper registration documents. Each agreed to pay $300 in fines and court costs, and a judge sentenced them to suspended 30-day jail terms and probation.

Authorities are now holding all four for federal immigration officials.

Police Sgt. John Crouch says the four people were taken into custody during a pair of traffic stops late Sunday and early Monday in Decatur. It's unclear how long they'll remain in the city jail.

Now if only ICE will do the job they are supposed to do and NOT what Obozo instructed them to do!

Four down and 40 million to go.

Four people charged during the weekend under Alabama’s new immigration law pleaded guilty Monday in Decatur Municipal Court.

The four would have been released after pleading to willful failure to procure alien registration documents, a Class C misdemeanor under Section 10 of the law, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had placed holds on them earlier Monday.

Each agreed to a fine of $100, $196 in court costs, and a 30-day suspended sentence with 12 months of probation.

It was unclear whether anyone at the arraignment was aware ICE had already placed detainers on the defendants.

“I wasn’t aware of an ICE hold. I had no idea if they were going to be detained by ICE at the time,â€
