Yesterday afternoon we had a blizzard and I got home in the nick of time to be with my elderly mother (who's had strokes and tends to worry if there is bad weather and I haven't made it home). Making my trip more difficult was some ghastly accident on the highway: massive traffic was being routed through town and I abandoned my hope of a last minute left turn into Safeway. Unbeknownst to me, the local schools were on lockdown, and in the early evening I got a 'reverse 911' call that a suspect had been captured. Here's the scoop:

"A minivan carrying 15 people went out of control on I-70 eastbound, Idaho Springs Police Chief Dave Wohlers said. He confirmed that four people, three males and one female, were dead at the scene. Ten others were transported by ground to hospitals, and a male whom police suspect is the driver is still at large.

The State Patrol said the vehicle in the crash fit the pattern of human smuggling; however, that could not be confirmed. Immigration officials have been notified and are also investigating."

The suspect they captured was the driver and he is in immigration custody now. The comment posted to the news story might resonate with ALIPAC.

Of course this is far from the first time. A while back they caught illegals trying to walk through the Eisenhower tunnel after their car had broken down. If I recall correctly, their destination was the midwest.
