INDIANAPOLIS—Federal authorities have lifted detention orders for five young illegal immigrants arrested during a protest at Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels' office.

One of the five said in a jail interview Tuesday that they all felt the need to protest two anti-illegal immigration bills Daniels signed into law Tuesday. Nineteen-year-old Sayra Perez said she was born in Mexico but has lived in Indiana since she was 5.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention orders that were pending against the five lifted by early Tuesday evening. ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok stopped short of saying the five would not face deportation hearings.

The five face initial hearings Wednesday on criminal trespass charges stemming from Monday's protest at Daniels' Statehouse office.

You know things are getting ridiculous when a so-called law enforcement agency refuses to enforce the laws! Law enforcement agencies, including ICE, should not have the power to pick and choose which laws they want to enforce. Congress writes the laws and it's their responsibility to enforce them!

I would not worry about what happen in these days, because when 2012 arrives this entire Country will be moved in another direction and all laws will be enforced!! Undocumented aliens have very little time left to have fun and should enjoy their disrespect for the moment. Almost every person I talk with are very upset and are tired of the way this Country is currently, they want a change and are gathering groups daily to win back the Country and they will be successful!!
