A Winston Salem woman pleaded guilty in federal court today to making and distributing fake IDs as part of fake ID ring in the Triad.
Laura Bello Castanada was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Greensboro to nine months in prison. Judge William Osteen, who handed down the sentence, also placed Bello on probation for three years.
Bello is accused of taking telephone orders from illegal immigrants for fake IDs and offered delivery service to her customers, court documents show.
Osteen told Bello, a native of Mexico, that she must leave the country when she finishes her jail sentence, and that if she returns, she will be prosecuted for illegal reentry.

are these feel good busts... or do you think they are a real beginning to cracking down?

That's it huh. Sentenced to 9 months. I wonder how much time she'll actually serve.

Prosecuted for re-entry? Give me a break.
