| Dear Members Why are our laws not being enforced and our borders secured? Seriously Ruthie Illegal Immigrant Accepts Plea Deal in Child Sexual Assault WILLMAR, Minn- An illegal immigrant who has been on the run for 10 years will soon receive his sentencing for allegedly sexually assaulting a five-year old girl. Court documents show 41-year old Tomas Hernandez Lopez accepted a plea deal Monday and will receive his sentencing on January 25th. ***************************************************** Man caught in immigration sting files lawsuit A Latino man who was detained in a controversial 2007 law enforcement raid that swept up illegal immigrants at a 7-Eleven parking lot in Upper Fells Point is suing federal authorities, alleging he was mistreated and arrested without cause. The suit was filed on behalf of just one person — 32-year-old Denis Alvarez of Southeast Baltimore — but an attorney with an immigrant advocacy group that crafted the suit said it is meant as an indictment against the raid in which two dozen men were arrested. The suit seeks a half-million dollars in damages. The January raid at the store on Broadway angered and frightened Baltimore's Latino community, and members of Casa de Maryland accused federal immigration agents of racial profiling. A subsequent newspaper article reported that the raid's location and timing were designed to boost arrest stats for the Baltimore field office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. **************************************************** 35 year old gang member accused of shooting two people at a party in Montclair pleads guilty Will Bigham, Staff Writer Created: 11/26/2010 06:43:45 AM PST http://www.dailybulletin.com/ci_16715864?source=rss_viewed RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA - A man accused of shooting two people at a party in Montclair pleaded guilty on Monday to attempted murder and another felony as part of a plea bargain that carries a 19-year prison sentence. ********************************************* *********************************************** Border Patrol agent attacked, Injured on I-10 near Palm Springs

Federal prosecutors say a Somali-born teenager plotted to carry out a car bomb attack at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Portland on Friday but the bomb turned out to be a dud supplied by undercover agents as part of a sting. Mohamed Osman Mohamud was arrested at about 5:45 p.m. just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would blow up a van laden with explosives but instead brought federal agents and Portland police swooping in to take him into custody. Federal court documents show the sting operation began in June after an undercover agent learned that Mohamud had been in contact with an "unindicted associate" in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier region. Mohamud is a naturalized U.S. citizen who has been living in Corvallis. http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-112610-portlandbombplot,0,7568891.story

SAN DIEGO – Investigators suspect a major drug cartel was the driving force behind two long, sophisticated tunnels connecting Mexico with the U.S. that were discovered this month along with more than 40 tons of marijuana. Authorities said an underground passage located Thursday was similar to one found earlier — both running around 2,000 feet from Mexico to San Diego and equipped with lighting, ventilation, and a rail system for drugs to be carried on a small cart. The tunnels are believed to be the work of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, headed by that country's most-wanted drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, said Mike Unzueta, head of investigations at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Diego. "We think ultimately they are controlled by the same overall cartel but that the tunnels were being managed and run independently by different cells operating within the same organization," Unzueta said Friday. The tunnel found Thursday is more than seven football fields in length and extends from the kitchen of a home in Tijuana, Mexico, to two warehouses in San Diego's Otay Mesa industrial district. ***************************************************** http://www.examiner.com/crime-in-phoenix/felonies-committed-by-illegal-aliens-were-100-percent-preventable
Felonies committed by illegal aliens were 100 percent preventable
PHOENIX – Ramon Hernandez-Barba, 46, and Luis H. Camacho-Echevarria, 30, have a lot in common. They're both illegal aliens who were arrested over the weekend on felony charges and booked into the Maricopa County Jail with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) holds, rendering their charges non-bondable.
Both also could have been arrested and deported years earlier, if local law enforcement and ICE had the will, instead of being cited and released on prior misdemeanor offenses.
Hernandez-Barba was arrested by Phoenix police just before midnight on Saturday, Nov. 27 on felony charges of aggravated DUI, for driving on a license suspended or revoked for DUI and for unlawful flight from a law enforcement vehicle.
In addition to being drunk, the reason Hernandez-Barba was probably fleeing from police was because he also had a warrant out for his arrest.
On May 7, 2008, Hernandez-Barba was cited in Yarnell by a Yavapai County Sheriff's deputy for a local charge, no valid license and failure to produce evidence of financial responsibility. The citation indicates Hernandez-Barba provided an address in Nogales, Ariz.
One week later, on May 14, 2008, he was cited again in Yarnell for no valid license and no mandatory insurance. This time he gave his address as being in Douglas, Ariz.
Even though he didn't possess a valid license, Hernandez-Barba's failure to appear in court resulted in a suspension of that "license."
In April 2010, Hernandez-Barba was cited by Phoenix police for driving with a driver license suspended or revoked for failure to appear (FTA) or failure to pay.
An arrest warrant was issued when Hernandez-Barba failed to appear in Phoenix Municipal Court.
Now that he's incarcerated, his FTA warrant was satisfied and the charge was dismissed by the court when he was arraigned on Sunday.
However, instead of arresting and deporting Hernandez-Barba back in May 2008, when it was obvious he was legally present, he was cited and released and allowed to continue driving throughout the state of Arizona for another two and a half years until he was finally arrested on felony charges.
Camacho-Echevarria was arrested by Phoenix police at 3:04 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 28 on felony counts of possession of a weapon by a prohibited person and discharge of a firearm within city limits.
In March 2006, Camacho-Echevarria was cited in Phoenix for a local charge, no valid driver license and failure to produce evidence of financial responsibility.
Unlike Hernandez-Barba, Camacho-Echevarria did appear in Phoenix Municipal Court, where he pled guilty to the local charge and no valid license and the court dismissed the insurance charge. No proof of financial responsibility carried a mandatory fine of $585 at the time, unless the driver could produce proof he had insurance at the time he was cited.
However, in a sanctuary city, such as Phoenix, it's financially beneficial to the illegal alien to dismiss the insurance charge in plea agreements.
While both Hernandez-Barba and Camacho-Echevarria's original charges may have only been misdemeanors, it was just another step, in addition to arriving or remaining in this country illegally, in furtherance of the disrespect for our laws that eventually reached felonious proportions.
