Residents complaining of rights violations gain local officials' support
RICHMOND Before leaving her Richmond apartment, Jenni Spezeski peeks out the front door and looks down both ends of the street. She is looking to see if any agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, who have recently been cracking down and arresting illegal immigrants in Richmond, are waiting outside. But it's not Spezeski they're after. Once the graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, who grew up in Arizona, determines it is safe to leave, she escorts her fianc out the door. He is identified only as Junior, an illegal immigrant from Brazil who came to the United States four years ago.
Spezeski said she and her fianc are afraid of ICE, which has arrested more than 100 residents in Richmond and Concord within the last few weeks. They have considered moving out of Richmond to avoid Junior's possible arrest or deportation.
"We've thought of moving to Canada," Spezeski said. "But I have a job and stability here, and I have to think about the future."

It doesn't say if she is legal are not, only she grew up in Arizona and stole her, so called ,education In California. It doesn't say she was born in Arizona. Best guess is they both are illegal.
