Feds moving to dismiss some deportation casesCritics assail the plan as a bid to create a kind of backdoor 'amnesty'Copyright 2010, HOUSTON CHRONICLEAug. 24, 2010, 9:00PMThe Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal records, according to several sources familiar with the efforts. Culling the immigration court system dockets of noncriminals started in earnest in Houston about a month ago and has stunned local immigration attorneys, who have reported coming to court anticipating clients' deportations only to learn that the government was dismissing their cases.

http://www.themonitor.com/articles/san-42116-juan-teen.html Police: San Juan teen randomly kidnapped, found in ReynosaAugust 23, 2010 4:51 PM The Monitor SAN JUAN —Police reunited a teenage woman with her family Monday afternoon, nearly 19 hours after she was abducted, blindfolded and dumped in a Reynosa field. The 18-year-old woman, whose name was not disclosed by police, was walking to a friend's house about 6:30 p.m. Sunday. A black van pulled up alongside her and three men hopped out, San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez said. They snatched the girl, blindfolded her and took her to Reynosa. The kidnappers began calling the woman's family demanding ransom money. "The kidnappers somehow missed it that she had a cell phone," Gonzalez said. "We were able to keep communicating with her." The chief said police investigators, FBI agents and Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies negotiated with the kidnappers. Once the abductors realized their victim's family would not be able to pay a ransom, they dumped her in a random field. She had her cell phone, but police still had no idea where she was. Customs officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents were put on alert to look for the teen and a helicopter surveyed Mexico from this side of the border, but found nothing. U.S. authorities did not contact their Mexican counterparts because they did not know whether they were corrupted or connected to the girl's captors, Gonzalez said. The girl had no idea where she was, Gonzalez said, and because she was in another country, officers could not go there directly to pick her up. "The only thing that prevented us from going out there and helping her was that river," the chief said. For about four hours during the night, authorities could not reach her on her phone, likely due to a poor signal. "We felt helpless because we couldn't help her at all," he said. It was the cell phone that proved crucial to finding her location and bringing her home, Gonzalez said. "We were able to keep communicating with her," he said. Random people the girl encountered would not help, either. "People that she came across didn't want to help," the chief said. "People are living in fear in Mexico." Gonzalez would not specify exactly who went to pick up the girl — only that a "courageous person" crossed and found her covered in dirt, but unharmed. "The only thing that was on her mind was 'I want to go home with my mom," the chief said. "'I want to be safe.'" Kidnappings for ransom involving random victims rarely occur in the Rio Grande Valley, law enforcement officials said. But they still do happen. In November 2009, a McAllen businessman was abducted at gunpoint from a Starbucks Coffee parking lot and taken to Reynosa. The kidnappers demanded $30,000 and two luxury vehicles as ransom. Mexican police found the man bound and beaten at a northeast Reynosa house and returned him to the United States. __ Jared Taylor covers law enforcement and general assignments for The Monitor.

*********************************** 3. (from the article below) The Rev. Alejandro Solalinde, who runs a shelter in the southern state of Oaxaca, where many migrants pass on their way to Tamaulipas, said the Zetas have put informants inside shelters to find out which migrants have relatives in the U.S. — the most lucrative targets for kidnap-extortion schemes. Survivor Details Massacre of 72 Migrants by Drug Cartel in MexicoPublished August 25, 2010 | Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — A wounded migrant stumbled into a military checkpoint and led marines to a gruesome scene, what may be the biggest massacre so far in Mexico's bloody drug war: a room strewn with the bodies of 72 fellow travelers, some piled on top of each other, just 100 miles from their goal, the U.S. border. The 58 men and 14 women were killed, the migrant told investigators Wednesday, by the Zetas cartel, a group of former Mexican army special forces known to extort migrants who pass through its territory. If authorities corroborate his story, it would be the most horrifying example yet of the plight of migrants trying to cross a country where drug cartels are increasingly scouting shelters and highways, hoping to extort or even recruit vulnerable immigrants. "It's absolutely terrible and it demands the condemnation of all of our society," said government security spokesman Alejandro Poire. The Ecuadorean migrant stumbled to the checkpoint on Tuesday, telling the marines he had just escaped from gunmen at a ranch in San Fernando, a town in the northern state of Tamaulipas about 100 miles from Brownsville, Texas. The Zetas so brutally control some parts of Tamaulipas that even many Mexicans do not dare to travel on the highways in the states. Many residents in the state tell of loved ones or friends who have disappeared traveling from one town to the next. Many of these kidnappings are never reported for fear that police are in league with the criminals. The marines scrambled helicopters to raid the ranch, drawing gunfire from cartel gunmen. One marine and three gunmen died in a gunbattle. Then the marines discovered the bodies, some slumped in the chairs where they had been shot, one federal official said. The migrant told authorities his captors identified themselves as Zetas, and that the migrants were from Brazil, Ecuador, El Salvador and Honduras. Poire said the government was in contact with those countries to corroborate the identities of the migrants. Consular officials from Brazil, Ecuador and El Salvador said they had no immediate information on whether any of their citizens were among the dead. The marines seized 21 assault rifles, shotguns and rifles, and detained a minor, apparently part of the gang. Authorities said they were trying to determine whether the victims had been killed at the same time — and why. Poire noted that migrants are frequently kidnapped by cartel gunmen demanding money, sometimes contacting relatives in the U.S. to demand ransoms. Poire also said the government believes cartels are increasingly trying to recruit migrants as foot soldiers — a concern that has also been expressed by U.S. politicians demanding more security at the border. The government has confirmed at least seven cases of cartels kidnapping groups of migrants so far this year, said Antonio Diaz, an official with the National Migration Institute, a think tank that studies immigration. But other groups say migrant kidnappings are much more rampant. In its most recent study, the National Human Rights Commission said some 1,600 migrants are kidnapped in Mexico each month. It based its figures on the number of reports it received between September 2008 and February 2009. Violence along the northeastern border with the U.S. has soared this year since the Zetas broke with their former employer, the Gulf cartel. Authorities say the Gulf cartel has joined forces with its once-bitter enemies, the Sinaloa and La Familia gangs, to destroy the Zetas, who have grown so powerful they now have reach into Central America. Teresa Delagadillo, who works at the Casa San Juan Diego shelter in Matamoros just across from Brownsville, said she often hears stories about criminal gangs kidnapping and beating migrants to demand money — but never a horror story on the scale of this week's massacre. "There hadn't been reports that they had killed them," she said. It was the third time this year that Mexican authorities have discovered large masses of corpses. In the other two cases, investigators believe the bodies were dumped at the sites over a long time. In May, authorities discovered 55 bodies in an abandoned mine near Taxco, a colonial-era city south of Mexico City that is popular with tourists. In July, investigators found 51 corpses in two days of digging in a field near a trash dump outside the northern metropolis of Monterrey. Many of those found were believed to have been rival traffickers. But cartels often dispose of the bodies of kidnap victims in such dumping grounds. The Rev. Alejandro Solalinde, who runs a shelter in the southern state of Oaxaca, where many migrants pass on their way to Tamaulipas, said the Zetas have put informants inside shelters to find out which migrants have relatives in the U.S. — the most lucrative targets for kidnap-extortion schemes. He said he constantly hears horror stories, including people who "say their companions have been killed with baseball bats in front of the others." Solalinde said he has been threatened by Zetas demanding access to his shelters. He said the gangsters told him: "If we kill you, they'll close the shelter and we'll have to look all over for the migrants." ___ Associated Press writer Alicia A. Caldwell in El Paso, Texas contributed to this report. ************************************************ 4.
