DETROIT - A former federal agent who pleaded guilty to faking a marriage to gain U.S. citizenship and improperly searching FBI databases was sentenced Tuesday to pay $975 in fines and other fees, but will serve no prison time. U.S. District Court Judge Avern Cohn said Nada Nadim Prouty, 38, "erred in judgment" 19 years ago when she lied to enter the U.S. in 1989 from her native Lebanon, but has provided "exemplary service to the country" as a federal agent. Cohn also signed an order revoking Prouty's citizenship, but Prouty's attorney Thomas Cranmer said after the hearing she will...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Josue Vega was one of thousands of immigrant workers who flocked to New Orleans in 2005 in hopes of finding a rebuilding job in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He worked seven days a week and earned more than twice his normal earnings. But with work now down to three days a week, the 20-year-old is planning to go home to Honduras. "My goal is to be here until November, and then never come back," he said. "I've had enough." The stops and starts of the post-Katrina rebuilding effort, often due to bureaucratic delays in funding,...

WASHINGTON — Three Mexican police chiefs have requested political asylum in the U.S. as violence escalates in the Mexican drug wars and spills across the U.S. border, a top Homeland Security official told The Associated Press. In the past few months, the police officials have shown up at the U.S. border, fearing for their lives, according to Jayson Ahern, the deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. "They're basically abandoned by their police officers or police departments in many cases," Ahern told AP. Ahern said the Mexican officials — whom he didn't name — are being interviewed and their cases...

PHOENIX: A human smuggler who caused the death of 10 illegal immigrants when he crashed a sport utility vehicle while fleeing from U.S. Border Patrol agents has been sentenced to life in federal prison. Adan Pineda Doval, 22, a Mexican citizen, was convicted by a Phoenix jury in October of 10 counts of transporting illegal immigrants causing death and two lesser charges. Pineda was driving a Chevrolet Suburban packed with 20 illegal immigrants outside Yuma, Arizona, on Aug. 7, 2006 when Border Patrol agents spotted him.

There is no federal law banning states from admitting illegal immigrants to colleges and universities, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said. The statement contradicts a letter issued this week by the North Carolina Attorney General, who advised the State Community College System that federal law prohibits the admission of illegal immigrants to public colleges and universities. "The Department of Homeland Security does not require any school to determine a student's status," the department said.

(Rochester, N.Y.) - Three convenience stores in Rochester were fronts for a money laundering operation to fund an Islamic terrorist organization according to the FBI Mohammed Muthana said federal agents are unfairly targeting the convenience store he's run for 13 years. "We are citizens almost 8 years but we don't feel it. After September 11, no, they treat me the wrong way." In carefully timed raids, FBI agents hit five locations seizing boxes of records and computer components. Experts from the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS examined financial documents. According to search warrants, they were looking for evidence of large,...

At eleven years old, a Douglas elementary school girl finds herself pregnant and under the protection of Child Protective Services. The name of the girl was not released due to her age. In late January or early Februar 2008, when her homeroom teacher and the school nurse noticed the slight swell of her tummy, the girl dismissed her girth as a tumor, a Douglas police report stated. When her grandparents, who have legal custody of the girl, were questioned, they told Douglas detectives that she ate too much and that’s why she was gaining weight. By the middle of March,...

We broke the unbelievable story last night of a 10-year old girl in St. Anthony who gave birth to a baby. She's now one of the youngest kids in the country to become a mother. Residents both on and off camera were shocked and in dismay over the situation, today this is what they had to say about our story.

DALLAS — Mexico has agreed to extradite a man accused of killing a Dallas-area college student whose burned body was found behind a suburban office complex, officials said. Ernesto Reyes of Denton will not face the death penalty as a condition of his extradition from Mexico, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office said in Wednesday's editions of The Dallas Morning News. He will probably be in Dallas by the end of the month, officials said. Melanie Goodwin, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of North Texas, suffered several blunt-force injuries. The Arlington teenager's body was set on fire and found...

Medellin's lawyer hopes to stop it, saying client didn't get to talk to consulate A Houston man who was convicted of capital murder 14 years ago for the gang rapes and slayings of two teenage girls received a death date Monday after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for his and other killers' executions. Jose Medellin, 33, is set to die by injection on Aug. 5 for the 1993 murders of Jennifer Ertman, 14, and Elizabeth Peña, 16. The girls were beaten, raped and killed after they happened upon a drunken midnight gang initiation rite in T.C. Jester Park...

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (CNN) — John McCain the presidential candidate suddenly sounded like the John McCain of 2005 on Monday, touting two pet issues that have generated considerable heartache among grassroots conservatives: the “Gang of 14” compromise and comprehensive immigration reform. McCain brought up the “Gang of 14” saga unprompted at a town hall here, in advance of a major speech on judicial appointments he is set to deliver tomorrow in Winston-Salem.

It is this reporter’s opinion that, after covering the invasion by illegal aliens over the past 40 years, it is difficult to find a story such as that related by Anna Gorman of the Los Angeles Times concerning illegal alien Ana Puente. “Ana was an infant with a liver disorder when her aunt brought her illegally to the U.S. to seek medical care,” said Gorman. The child underwent two liver transplants at UCLA Medical Center as a small child in 1989, and a third in 1998 — all totally paid for by the state of California. Now it is reported...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Friday stormed 11 El Balazo restaurants around the Bay Area, arresting 63 illegal immigrants - and drawing the outrage of immigration advocates who had marched the previous day to call for the legalization of undocumented workers. The raids began at 10:30 Friday morning in San Francisco, San Ramon, Lafayette, Concord, Pleasanton and Danville and involved 62 people from Mexico and one from Guatemala. Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for the immigration agency, called the arrests "a targeted enforcement action" that is part of a continuing criminal investigation she couldn't discuss further. Immigration officials photographed, fingerprinted...

It appears as if the illegal’s support is running out of steam here in Dallas. The link is to video I shot of the "protest march" staged by criminal illegal alien Border and immigration law violators. They marched and nobody cared. VIDEO

After renewing his push to get District Attorney Ron Sutton to seek a warrant in Mexico for a fugitive wanted on a murder charge in the death of his wife in 1991, Kerr County Sheriff Rusty Hierholzer said Friday he'll foot the bill to translate the required documents into Spanish. ‘It needs to be done,' Hierholzer said of expanding the search across the border for Jose Garcia DeLaFuente, 67, aka Jose Isaac DeLaFuente. The children of the victim, Mirella DeLaFuente, have criticized years of delay in seeking the Mexican warrant for their stepfather, and Sutton for not paying to translate...

The last of six illegal immigrants charged with picking up a 13-year-old girl at a dollar store, then sexually assaulting her multiple times pleaded guilty. Vincente Rodriguez, 26, a Mexican citizen, admitted through a Spanish-speaking translator that he fondled the victim during the August 2006 abduction...... 19-year-old Edson Leontes was sentenced to state prison after pleading guilty to aggravated sexual assault. Both were farm laborers at Brookside Nursery, one of three locations where prosecutors believe the underage victim was assaulted. The nursery owner reported that both men signed working papers claiming they are in the country legally. Rodriguez's attorney said...

Death penalty jurors Tuesday watched Juan Leonardo Quintero demonstrate how he fatally shot Houston police officer Rodney Johnson while handcuffed behind his back. "In the waist," Quintero said on a videotaped interview, while also showing how he pulled the gun from his waistband on his right, cocked the hammer, leaned forward in the back seat of Johnson's police car and shot. He was speaking in English. During the trial, Quintero has worn headphones to hear a translator detailing the proceedings in Spanish. When asked why he had the gun, Quintero, a Mexican citizen who is in this country illegally, said,...

NORFOLKA Guatemalan national made it easy for illegal immigrants on the Eastern Shore to drive, according to the FBI.

He was arrested and taken into U.S. District Court that afternoon, where a magistrate ordered him jailed pending a bond hearing Thursday.Mazariegos-Perez, speaking through an...

A U.S. recession could worsen the illegal immigration crisis, says investigative journalist Dr. Jerome Corsi. The New York Times best-selling author believes the recession may bring another issue to head - the continued presence of millions of illegal aliens from south of the border. "Ten percent of Mexico's population living in the United States, maybe America will tolerate. But 50 or 30 percent? Well, we're already going to have 20 percent of Mexico's population here within two years," he details. "Those are the projections. By 2010 there will be 20 percent of Mexoco's population in the United States." Corsi believes...

The first defendants from the April 16 immigration raid at the local Pilgrim's Pride chicken processing plant will be in Federal Court in Chattanooga on Tuesday. They are due to appear at 2 p.m. before Magistrate Susan Kerr Lee for hearings on whether they should continue to be detained.

As the death-penalty trial of Juan Leonardo Quintero opened this morning, prosecutors told jurors the illegal immigrant is a "cold-blooded killer" for executing a Houston police officer in 2006. The defense for Quintero, 34, agreed that he shot Officer Rodney Johnson, but said brain damage caused the Mexican citizen to perceive a threat that wasn't there. Quintero pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in state District Judge Joan Campbell's court. Family and friends of Johnson's sobbed as prosecutor John Jordan described the last moments of his life, saying the black officer heard Quintero shouting racial epithets as he died...

PEÑITAS | ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING An illegal immigrant couple who allegedly attempted to kidnap three children appeared in court Friday. Honduran national Martha Amalia Gomez, 36, and Mexican national Jose Valera, 41, told police they stopped the children as they got off the school bus Thursday afternoon on Tom Gill Road to simply ask for directions. Police, however, said the couple motioned for the children to get in their car before the children's mother came out of the house. The couple then fled about 4:15 p.m., said Peñitas police Officer Emily Melendez. Later that day, someone saw a report about the...

Just days before his death penalty trial, attorneys for Juan Leonardo Quintero said he has offered to plead guilty and be sentenced to life without parole for the 2006 shooting of Houston police officer Rodney Johnson — a deal prosecutors have rejected. Quintero's attorney, Danalynn Recer, noted in an e-mail Friday that the 34-year-old illegal immigrant confessed to killing Johnson and cooperated with authorities. She also said Quintero regrets the toll his actions have taken on Johnson's family, as well as on his own family. "He is profoundly ashamed and deeply sorry for the pain he has inflicted on them,"...

MERCEDES - Deputies arrested two illegals in connection with a Mercedes murder. Jaime Ibarra and Juan Pineda are each being held on a million dollar bond. They're accused of killing Saul Garmendia. Sheriff Lupe Trevino says Pineda and the victim were fighting over a woman. The two suspects are now in county jail. The sheriff says they're the latest example of rising crime rate involving illegals. And he says it's creating an overcrowding problem in his jail. "I've got between 29 to 31 percent illegal immigrants in my county jail that we're holding on state charges," Trevino explains. He's seen...

Authorities have arrested a father and son believed to be top leaders in the Tamaulipas-based Gulf Cartel, Mexican officials announced Thursday. Federal prosecutors allege Rogelio "El Rojo" Díaz Cuellar led the drug trafficking organization's operations in Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas State and coordinated the movements of several loads of drugs into the United States. His son - Rogelio "El Roger" Díaz Contreras - was also arrested for allegedly playing an active role in his father's cell, Mexico's attorney general's office said in a statement. "The cell led by this drug trafficker was an important support for the (cartel),"...

Oscar Flores-Chicas, 32, pleaded guilty to shooting Miguel Gonzales-Euceda in the mouth Feb. 4, 2007, in Gonzales-Euceda's Mercer Street home. Flores-Chicas, an illegal Honduran immigrant living in the 200 block of High Street in Alpha, said through an interpreter that the two men had been drinking heavily, and that Gonzales-Euceda had threatened him earlier. They got into an argument and, he said, "...I got mad and I shot him." Flores-Chicas pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated manslaughter and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. The recommended sentence is 15 years in prison. He would be ineligible for parole...

What happens in Lexington doesn't stay in Lexington, at least not anymore. More and more illegal immigrants who get arrested here are being detained by federal immigration officials and then being deported because of two new policies.  In the past a person like Julio Morales Chacon, a convicted criminal and illegal immigrant, could have served his time in the Fayette County jail, then he could have been released back on the streets. But on April 14th Chacon was turned over to I.C.E. - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Marcello Sabino Borges, an illegal immigrant who served his time for DUI...

LANCASTER, Calif. — Hundreds of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation rioted at a county-run detention center and had to be subdued with tear gas, authorities said Wednesday. The riot Tuesday started as a fight between detainees from rival gangs and spread to the detention center's outdoor yard, said Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Nearby sheriff's stations sent additional deputies to separate the detainees. The brawl was diffused "within minutes" after tear gas was used, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. Fights among incarcerated gang members periodically break out at state jails, prisons and immigrant detention facilities, sometimes...

April 23, 2008 Police believe they've found those responsible for the so-called "Ninja Burglaries" on Staten Island, but they're short of evidence, so they're turning to immigration authorities to throw the suspects out of the country. Investigators say they have closed the book on the so-called Ninja Burglar case,without making any arrests. Police sources say an effort is underway to deport a group of illegal immigrants from Albania. Investigators say they don't have enough evidence to charge them, but the men have been arrested for other burglaries in the past. A string of 19 burglaries began last May. The ninja...

CHICAGO — Diego Hernandez and Anh Phan have never met, but they may share something of a common path. Both Hernandez, 40, a native of Mexico, and Phan, 27, a Vietnamese national, were held for immigration officials after they were arrested in Madison County, and will attend court hearings in Chicago to resolve their citizenship status. Anderson police arrested Hernandez this month on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving and driving without ever having received a license. Indiana State Police troopers arrested Phan in September at the Pendleton BMV branch when she allegedly tried to get an Indiana ID card using...

An illegal alien accused of sexually molesting two underage girls in Carthage two years ago entered Alford pleas Monday on both felony counts he was facing in Jasper County Circuit Court and was ordered turned over to immigration officials for deportation to Mexico. Salomon A. Jiminez, 55, entered the pleas to counts of first-degree statutory rape and first-degree statutory sodomy in a plea agreement with the county prosecutor’s office. The agreement limited the length of sentences he could be assessed to 10 years for each conviction and called for the sentences to run concurrently. Circuit Judge David Dally sentenced Jiminez...

AUSTIN — Conservative Texas legislators made it clear Monday they'll again push for strict state laws to crack down on illegal immigration when lawmakers convene in January. A chief area they're likely to concentrate on is encouraging local police departments to work with U.S. officials to enforce federal immigration laws, which the House State Affairs Committee is studying. "The fact of the matter is, our borders are broken," said Republican Rep. Debbie Riddle of Tomball, urging lawmakers in 2009 to battle illegal immigration. "My district, and I think the people of Texas, are demanding action." Riddle told the committee that...

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is off his rocker. This weekend residents of Los Angeles waited with bated breath to hear the State of the City Speech from the mayor. Most Angelenos looked forward to seeing the Mayor once again since it had been while: in the wake of a sex scandal he had all but permanently relocated to the Hillary Clinton campaign bus for the last year and a half. Most residents already knew the State of the City: the City of Angels had become a much harder, more violent place what with the recent murder of Jamiel Shaw...

Hard numbers: Illegal alien drunk drivers in North Carolina By Michelle Malkin • April 19, 2008 WRAL reports on a new statistical breakdown of illegal alien drunk drivers in North Carolina. It’s a blood-pressure-raising look at the deadly revolving door, catch-and-release, the deportation abyss, and the danger of sanctuary policies embraced by those sworn to defend and protect the public: Seven-year-old Marcus Lassiter won’t see his eighth birthday. George Smith was on his morning commute to Duke University but never made it to work. Betty Coates might struggle with daily tasks for the rest of her life. Johnston County Sheriff...

A proposal to change the LAPD's controversial policy dealing with undocumented immigrants picked up a powerful ally today, the Los Angeles Police Protective League. The union, which represents more than 9,000 LAPD officers, said it is backing a motion introduced last week by Los Angeles Councilman Dennis Zine that would require officers to check on the immigration status of gang members suspected of being undocumented immigrants -- even if they are not under arrest. That motion would change LAPD's Special Order 40, which restricts officers' ability to inquire about a person's immigration status. Zine introduced the motion after the parents...

Release on bond sometimes leads to deportation bid Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials planned to deport a Mexican woman accused of kidnapping and forcing a teenager to work as a prostitute even though she faces charges that could potentially carry a sentence of life in prison. Gregoria Vazquez, 58, and her son, 27-year-old David Salazar, are accused of forcing a 16-year-old girl from Mexico to have sex with men in a northeast Houston bar, according to police and court records. Vazquez was booked into Harris County Jail March 10 on felony charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault of...

HOUSTON -- An arrest has been made in the brutal carjacking that resulted in the stabbing death of a mother of five. Harris County Sheriff’s investigators said they arrested one suspect in the murder of Tina Davila and charges have been filed against an illegal immigrant they say stabbed the woman several times. Davila was walking into a mobile phone store in northeast Harris County Wednesday afternoon when a man grabbed her keys in an attempt to steal her car. Davila, whose 4-month-old daughter was still in the car, fought the would-be carjacker.

Our prisons are boiling over capacity with criminals. Convicted criminal immigrants make up a large number of inmates. IF it costs approximately $42,000 per year to house these illegal immigrants, should they be deported? Even small rural towns like mine are having to cough up tax money to build new jails. No one wants to point to the criminal illegal immigrants that are filling the old jail. They just tell us that we need a bigger jail. Yet the papers are filled with names in the arrest column that points squarely to immigrants.

Many of us have heard the story of Jamiel Shaw, the promising young Los Angeles high school football star shot to death by an illegal-alien-gangbanger. We know that his mother, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, got the news while serving her country in Iraq. We know that the punk who killed her son was at one point in custody, but was released without having his immigration status scrutinized. “The guy who killed my son was in custody. He had a long prison record ... and he was let out without any kind of hearing. He was let out into the community...

Their son's alleged killer, in the U.S. illegally, had been let out of jail onto streets.   The attack on the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Order 40 -- which limits when officers can ask about the citizenship status of suspects -- has come largely but not exclusively from anti-illegal-immigration forces. But now the order has a new and potentially potent foe: the family of Jamiel Shaw Jr., the Los Angeles High football star who was killed last month. Police have charged a gang member who was in the country illegally with Shaw's slaying. Jamiel Shaw Sr. and his wife,...

The U.S. Homeland Security department has launched an ambitious nationwide effort that would cost $2 billion to $3 billion a year to identify and deport the estimated 300,000 to 450,000 illegal immigrants locked up each year in jails and prisons.The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation was denounced by immigrant rights groups and received cautiously by those favoring tighter enforcement.''We can do something few law enforcement agencies can do: Not only ensure criminals are off the streets, but ensure they are removed from the country," said ICE spokesman Tim Counts. ''Removing hundreds of thousands of criminals from the country is...

'Jamiel's Law' Targets Illegal Immigrant Gang Members In Wake of Los Angeles H.S. Football Star's Death The family of a Los Angeles high school football star allegedly killed by a gang member in the country illegally is getting behind a proposed city ordinance intended to crack down on illegal immigrant gangs in the city. The proposal, dubbed "Jamiel's Law" after shooting victim Jamiel Shaw Jr., was drafted by Walter Moore, a political opponent of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The parents of the 17-year-old Shaw spoke in favor of the ordinance Tuesday before the Los Angeles City Council. A 1979 police order...

EL CAJON – A man who had been deported to Mexico as a convicted felon pleaded not guilty Friday to kidnapping and raping a La Mesa woman in El Cajon. Israel Mendez, 25, is charged with two counts of forcible rape, one count of forcible sodomy, one count of forcible oral copulation, kidnapping with the intent to commit rape and robbery. El Cajon Superior Court Judge Patricia K. Cookson set an April 17 hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence for a trial and appointed the county Public Defenders' Office to represent Mendez. Deputy District Attorney Curtis Ross told...

A Tucson police officer who shot and killed an illegal entrant during a violent scuffle was justified in using deadly force, according to the findings of a Police Department board of inquiry. Officer Douglas Dreher's actions on Nov. 24, when he shot a man who'd attacked him with his own baton, were found to be within department policy, according to a summary of the incident obtained by the Arizona Daily Star on Friday. Francisco Javier Yanez-Burruel, 35, of Magdalena, Sonora, was shot several times, according to Star archives. Dreher was driving his patrol car west on Irvington Road near Interstate...
