NV-ACLU: Minor arrests leading to Vegas deportations
ACLU: Minor arrests leading to Vegas deportations
July 4, 2010

LAS VEGAS (AP) — American Civil Liberties Union officials are raising concerns that jail screenings by Las Vegas police under a federal immigration program are leading to deportations of people nabbed for only minor infractions.
Records obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal show that about one-third of the more than 3,300 Clark County jail inmates held for deportation in the first 18 months of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 287(g) program were arrested on misdemeanor charges.
Some charges included jaywalking, fishing without a license, sleeping in public, possessing an unregistered animal and “walking on side of road.â€Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

But Ashman acknowledged there was no evidence Las Vegas police were abusing what he termed “an inside-the-station enforcement tool.â€"A Nation of sheep will beget a government of Wolves" -Edward R.

Here's one comment from the source site worth posting:

I would rather our local police spend their time catching dangerous criminals, most of whom are citizens, rather than chasing illegal immigrants around. Immigration is for the feds to deal with, local police should be concerned with community safety.
I agree with you, gringo. You gave away the store a long time ago. Now it is ours. Soon your 4th of July will be only a memory; you will be celebrating 16 de Septiembre with us.

Yep, sadly you are correct, but as the post you quoted, most Americans don't seem to get the fact that they are giving away their country and have already given away most of California.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

I'd like to tell the ACLU, that is the way it should be. If it were so minor, they'd not be going to jail to be screened. Minor offences get tickets, but if the illegal alien doesn't have legitimate I'd or a good address...
Gee this sounds a lot like the AZ law they're trying to keep from getting enacted.Illegal aliens remain exempt from American laws, while they DEMAND American rights...
