Raleigh, N.C. — Eight illegal immigrants have been sentenced to 21 to 30 months in federal prison for participating in an identity fraud ring, authorities said.

Donovan Martinez-del Angel, 34, Omar Adalid Soto-Baltazar, 32, Jose Hernandez-Martines, 48, Jose Galvan-Rangel, 51, Sergio Martinez-Juarez, 23, Ernesto Esquivel-Perez, 30, Luis Salvador Villicana-Martinez, 35, and Roberto Ruiz-Torres, 21, each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce and transfer false identification documents and immigration violations.

The eight were indicted following an investigation, dubbed Operation Red Eye, by the U.S. Secret Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Between August 2006, and January, the men participated in a scheme in the Triangle to manufacture and sell counterfeit identification documents, including drivers’ licenses, Social Security cards and permanent resident cards, authorities said.

The men solicited customers by using business cards that contained almost no identifying information. They would take pictures of the customers, gather the information the customer wanted on the card and take a fee for providing phony documents, authorities said.

Six other people are awaiting sentencing in the case.

Arrest, incarceration, DEPORTATION...si se puede!!!

Do they have family here? ICE round entire family up!

These must be the sophisticated criminals Chertoff is talking about when he says the Real ID will not bring any Real Protection.

Every time someone is found to have stolen someone else's ID they should check and see if they also registered to vote, and if they are registered, check to see if they have voted in the past. If they are registered, then they should check to see who else at that address has registered to vote, and that person should then have to prove they are an American citizen (not just that they are "legal", but "legally able to vote, in other words, a citizen, not just a green card holder).
