Aliens ask wrong people in van about work
Washington Times ^ | Jan 24, 2007 | Natasha Altamirano

BALTIMORE.....U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were stopped in the convenience store parking lot when the group of Hispanic men approached the agents' unmarked vehicles, ICE spokesman Marc Raimondi said.

Officials said "several" agents were approached, but they declined to say how many. The agents, members of an ICE fugitive operations team conducting a mission targeting illegal aliens, determined that all 24 men assembled at the store were illegal aliens and brought them to an ICE holding facility in Baltimore, Mr. Raimondi said.

......Of those arrested, 10 were Honduran, eight were Mexican, five were Salvadoran and one was Peruvian, ICE officials said.

Six of the men have criminal records in the United States, eight of the men have failed to comply with final removal orders from an immigration judge and one man had been caught at the border on four occasions, ICE officials said.

The nonprofit immigrant-advocacy group CASA of Maryland called the arrests an "illegal raid" that was beyond ICE's authority.

"Asking a bunch of people about their immigration status is well beyond the confines of a specific warrant," CASA spokeswoman Kim Propeack said.

....The fugitive operations program is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Secure Border Initiative, which aims to tighten border controls and remove illegal aliens from the country. ICE removed more than 190,000 illegal aliens last year, including more than 90,000 with criminal records.

The arrests came the same day that ICE officials announced they had arrested more than 750 illegal aliens in the Los Angeles area in the past week.

Those aliens were from 14 countries, including Mexico, Ukraine, India, Japan, Poland and Trinidad. The raids were part of ICE's Operation Return to Sender, which has netted 13,000 arrests nationwide since June.

What a complete and utter fool this person is. Useful, liberal idiots like this want NO BORDERS, period. This is a Hillary voter and it would vote for Slick Willie to be president for life.

Won't work again, the Casa De Maryland people will surround the vans and warn people away, and the Maryland legislature will make it illegal for non-employers to loiter in parking lots.

Your comment would only make slightly more sense if President Bush was actually reading this thread.

Oh, for the love of ... Propeack is guilty of criminal stupidity and first degree naivete. That and practicing liberalism without a clue.

Is it a "raid" when the suspects walk up to your vehicle?

CASA, which receives taxpayer funding, believes federal immigration agents have no right to ask immigrants about their legal status. Who does, then? No one? CASA was responsible for an unknown number of non-citizens voting in Maryland during the last election. As far as I'm concerned, CASA is a continuing criminal enterprise and should be prosecuted as such.
"Six of the men have criminal records in the United States, eight of the men have failed to comply with final removal orders from an immigration judge and one man had been caught at the border on four occasions, ICE officials said.
The nonprofit immigrant-advocacy group CASA of Maryland called the arrests an "illegal raid" that was beyond ICE's authority."
What part of "illegal" do these liars not understand?

There are so many illegals in this country, all ICE has to do is park their van at any 7/11 and the illegals will walk up to it and allow themselves to be arrested.
