The Sheriff isn't going to take any lip from them!
LOL, the INS was disbanded over 3 years ago. The job now falls under the agency ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Little has changed.
However before we tar and feather the ICE agents here it important to understand that their hands are tied. When these people were initially turned over to ICE, the agents had no choice but to serve them with a Notice to Appear “NTA” (also known as a notice to disappear) and release them because they have nowhere to put them.
It gets even more frustrating when you consider that the second time there were encountered at the sheriff’s house they were no longer illegally in the US. That’s right they have a legal right to be here until their court date. ICE could not re-arrests them. This is why ICE agents are unresponsive to local law enforcement, they end up spending hours processing aliens only to have release them WITH PAPERS.
The mere fact that they claimed to be in route to California when their court appearance is scheduled for Pittsburgh is meaningless because there still is nowhere to put them pending their court date and no one expects them to show up anyway.
Terminal. Tom Hanks. Nice feel-good movie about an illegal (victim of circumstance) who is stuck inside an airport terminal because of an a$$ of an ICE inspector.
Trouble is, it tells the wrong story and totally guts our arguments.
Yeah. I'm Catholic, but I quit going to church, and I will not give them a damn cent.Money inteded for OUR poor will be spent on their political Empire-Building.
must have been a false Mexican license, because there is no state of Acapulco. The city of Acapulco is in Guerrero state, and the state issues the license, not the city
I wonder i fthis agent speaks for himself or the agency.
I think this should be brought to Alberto's attention immeidately. I know he will do something about it (sarcasm/)
a network of former and retired specialists from the American judiciary system. They are assembling to legally provide to law enforcement agencies incriminating evidence of deliberate violations of state or federal immigration, tax or employment laws.
They are seeking volunteers with legal backgrounds, as well as informants, so if any of you can help them, go for it.

When they buy their tacos from the illegal mexican vendor on the street corner.
Well, to be fair, this is Pittsburgh, so they probably go to Primanti Brothers.
*Sigh* me too! Sure. Let them all come over here, but no welfare, food stamps, government programs of any kind, no DL, no anchor babies.
"Only one word for the INS attitude: outrageous.
This is utter insanity."
What would you expect...GWB has "set the tone" as far as "illegals" goes.
Heck, our "top cop" is a La Raza supporter!
we might as well fire those judges, court reporters, interpreters, etc. All they have is a continually empty calendar.
There is the problem and what needs to be changed. If they are here illegally send them back home immediately and let them sort it out from there. Very few who bother to show up at the hearings have legitimate reasons to stay here. Some might be inconvenienced but that is better than the millions of us being overrun.
Tell your representatives to change this as it is the root of the problem. The left will scream about the few who may be sent back by mistake but that is life in the big city.
Don't be too hard on the INS guy in Pittsburgh. He has bigger problems to consider - his budget. He may not get the automatic bonus if he exceeds it.
what we really need is to get rid of their right to a hearing. They either have documents or they don't. It they don't - detain them and deport them.
nope, they were improvising, going right into the face of danger. This should earn them a good scolding from Presidente Fox and the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores (Foreign Relations).
nope, they are in clear violation of page 24, paragraph 4 of the Guia del Migrante Mexicano, which states that they should not call attention to themselves, and they're about as likely to be punished for that violation as they are for any of the others they've committed.
good point - if they are detained again, they can just produce whatever notice of hearing they're given, and that works pretty much like a 6-month tourist visa for them
My apologies (and unlike Dick Durbin, I really mean it)!
We don't have any INS Agents working in the Federal Government. In fact, we have no INS.
