Advocates want to continue modifying family detention rules

Jan. 14, 2008, 7:00PM

By ANABELLE GARAY Associated Press Writer
© 2008 The Associated Press

DALLAS — Advocates called the first set of approved standards for detaining immigrant families a commendable step by the federal government, but remain worried about the effect some provisions of confinement could have on children.

The rules announced by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month cover dozens of topics, ranging from discipline guidelines and medical care to training for staff and recreation for detainees. Provisions include limiting strip searches of young children and not waking children during night head counts unless exigent circumstances exist.

"We commend the Department of Homeland Security for drafting standards that will improve these facilities," Michelle Brane, director of the detention and asylum program at the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children, said in a statement Friday. But she said the group is concerned that children can be disciplined based on adult prison protocol, including the use of restraints, steel batons and strip searches.

The standards were approved in December and will apply at the T. Don Hutto Family Residential Center in Taylor and the Berks Family Residential Center in Leesport, Pa., the only facilities in the country that hold related adults and children, ICE said on Monday. Both centers opened before the agency had standards for families in place.

"We've had detention standards in place for a long, long time for the adult facilities," ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said Monday. "They used those adult standards as a core from which to build and extract as necessary."

ICE had to create the family standards as part of a settlement with advocates who sued on behalf of children who alleged they lived in prison-like conditions at the Hutto facility. The agency has always maintained that the facilities are a humane alternative to keep immigrant families while they await deportation or other outcomes to their immigration cases.

Advocates say they'd like to continue working with ICE to incorporate more provisions that use state child welfare standards as a reference.

"We need to make sure family detention does not follow prison protocol," Vanita Gupta, staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, said Monday.

CPS has plan if ICE makes raid

By Adrian Sanchez

Friday, Jan 18, 2008 - 11:46:49 am CST

COLUMBUS -- The Columbus Public Schools response plan in the case of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation or detainment of a student’s parents was unveiled at the district’s Hispanic Advisory committee meeting Thursday.

The plan, released by Superintendent Paul Hillyer, was created by the school district staff to aid in a student’s transition and make sure he or she has a place to go.

“This process is in case ICE had a raid at one of our (area) plants,” Hillyer said.

He said a local raid is not anticipated, and the last raid was more than 10 years ago, but the district wants to be prepared should such an incident happen.

According to the plan, once the district has been notified, either by ICE or some other source, that a raid has occurred, staff would work to verify such an event had occurred before implementing the plan.

Once the information was verified, the superintendent would activate the Crisis Management Team. The administrative assistants will notify the principals at each school, who would then activate the building level teams.

Each team would activate the plan for identifying students of affected families, call the emergency numbers of students considered at risk and try to find an emergency contact for each student in case their parents are deported or detained.

If power of attorney has not been given to the emergency contact, the parents will be given power of attorney papers to fill out.

Hillyer said, “at the end of the day, at each site, we will check for students who didn’t have a place to go and make sure they have some place to go for the night.”

So other local resources are called as needed to help secure homes and shelters for stranded children, according to the plan, and the district will provide counselors for kids who are frightened.

Nebraska Health and Human Services will be used as a last resort, Hillyer said, for any students not picked up by a parent or emergency contact.

“Our goal is to make sure the kids have a place to stay,” he said, “(and) their education can go on without a hitch.”

Worried Cries of "The Mexicans Are Coming!" Break Out in Tucson
By John W. Lillpop


Worried cries of "The Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming!" filled the air in Tucson, Arizona this past week as government officials expressed frenzied concern about invading illegal aliens.

And with whom were the public outcries originating? Tucson city or Arizona state officials? Or perhaps a member of the U.S. House or Senate? Maybe the Minutemen were acting up again?

None of the above!

In fact, the alarms were sounded by Mexican legislators suffering apoplectic fits over Arizona's tough new anti-illegal alien laws. The source of their angst? Mexican illegal aliens going back to Mexico, where they belong!

Tucsoncitizen: http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/border/74193.php

This band of third world banditos descended on Tucson to reaffirm what has been obvious to most reasonable Americans long ago: Mexico is a third-world cesspool run by corrupt and greedy elitists who cannot, or will not, feed, house, educate, and provide medical care for its own citizens.

And why should they? After all, it is far less expensive and problematic for Mexico to simply dump its problems on the U.S. side of the border for American taxpayers to deal with.

Clearly, most Mexican officials have no respect for American sovereignty and rule of law. They are also lacking any concern for the impact that illegal aliens have on America's homeland security, economy, and social and cultural stability.
clap clap

At a news conference, the Mexican legislators said Mexico cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers in America return to their hometowns without jobs or money.

Can you imagine? A delegation from a foreign government actually stood on American soil to protest enforcement of American law in America because of the inconvenience that would cause the foreign nation?

Has there ever been a more outrageous display of arrogant incompetence?

Excepting of course, the political malfeasance practiced by the United States Congress and several presidents, which has allowed as many as 38 million illegal aliens to invade and occupy America--during time of war?

A sampling of quotes from the Mexican legislators provides a pretty good summary of how out of touch Mexico is with regard to the illegal alien problem in America:

"How can they pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano Gamez, who represents Nogales, in Spanish.

She continued, "Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems" it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs, she said. "We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona.

Rep. Florencio Diaz Armenta, coordinator of the delegation, asked, "What do we do with the repatriated?" he asked. "As Mexicans, we are worried. They are Mexicans but they are also people - fathers and mothers and young people with jobs" who won't have work in Sonora."

Mexican officials, including the ones quoted above, would do well to understand and accept the following essential truths about America:

* America is a sovereign nation, totally independent of Mexico. It has been that way for over 200 years. We intend to keep it that way.

* In America, Mexico is considered a FOREIGN nation and Spanish is a FOREIGN language.

* America operates according to the rule of law, which applies to everyone. This is true whether one is brown, black, yellow, lily-white, red, or an exotic hybrid of lavender and green.

* Being hard working and good hearted is commendable. But those qualities do NOT entitle anyone to enter America illegally.

* People here illegally are common criminals, and as such, are most unwelcome.

* American citizens will fight to have illegal aliens deported, regardless of whether or not families are involved. Illegal is illegal, Family or not.

* Demanding that our borders be secured and that the law be enforced is the right of all American citizens; doing so does not make any one a racist or bigot, and

* U.S. immigration laws exist to protect American citizens & others here legally, not to facilitate a foreigner’s pursuit of a better life, and

Now if there just a way to convey those truths to George W. Bush and all Democrats and RINOs, American patriots might have a decent change of stopping and reversing the invasion of our nation by third world Mexico!

Kerry cheers probe into Bianco immigration
raid


January 18, 2008 1:19 PM

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. John F. Kerry joined immigrant advocates today in welcoming news that the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General will review the immigration raid carried out at the Michael Bianco Inc. factory in New Bedford in March 2007.

Sen. Kerry sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff days after the raid took place, requesting an investigation into how the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation, which left more than 150 children stranded without their parents, was prepared and carried out.

“I look forward to working with the investigators to flesh out what could be done to avoid this tragedy,” Sen. Kerry said today in a press statement.

The Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition also issued a press release announcing its support of the review.

“We believe this review will prove ICE officials had little regard for the women, children and families affected by the raid, and that the entire action was a monumental waste of taxpayer dollars,” MIRA executive director Ali Noorani said in a prepared statement. ”The United States government should never treat human beings the way they treated the women, children and families of New Bedford on March 6, 2007. We look forward to a comprehensive, and speedy, review by the DHS inspector general.”

Group outlines abuse claims in immigration sweeps

Hate and bigotry among items cited in critical report as conference opens

Jan. 18, 2008, 1:41AM


By SUSAN CARROLL
Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle


The report's release coincides with the opening of a national conference for the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which will be held today through Sunday at the downtown Houston Hyatt. The California-based group outlined a wide range of alleged human rights violations in its 108-page report, "Over-raided, Under Siege," based largely on news reports and interviews with community leaders.

Arnoldo Garcia, the director of the Immigrant Justice & Rights Program at NNIRR, described a "climate of hate and intolerance and bigotry" against immigrants in much of America. He said the report raises important questions about the timing and legality of recent immigration raids, citing a sweep last year in New Haven, Conn., that was conducted two days after the city approved issuing a municipal ID card that would allow all residents — regardless of their citizenship — to access certain city services.

"When they do those raids, it's a scary thing for people to see," Garcia said. "It intimidates people into giving up their rights. It's very deliberate."

Kelly Nantel, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, disputed the allegations and said the raid in New Haven was planned more than a month in advance.

"ICE is a law enforcement agency," she said. "We are not trying to strike fear into anyone. We are enforcing the law. I think the American public has made it crystal clear that that is what they want."

Garcia said the conference organizers chose to hold the conference in Houston in part because of the city's size and diversity, and its location along the Gulf Coast.

Nestor Rodriguez, a University of Houston sociology professor and co-director of UH's Center for Immigration Research, said he plans to speak briefly at the conference this morning. He said such gatherings have great significance in helping to broaden the immigration debate.

"This is a key social issue for us today in this country, and something the presidential candidates and the public in general talks about," Rodriguez said. "The more we meet and discuss the significance of migration, the better off we are. I think the more informed we are, the better we're equipped to make decisions."

The conference will focus in part on developing a system to track and document human rights abuses and hold the government accountable for documented violations, Garcia said. Other goals include strategizing about the November political elections and crafting plans to lobby Congress to legalize the estimated 11 million to 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

Garcia said the conference registration is near capacity with about 500 people. Those interested in attending the conference at the Hyatt Regency Houston, 1200 Louisiana, can e-mail NNIRR at conference08@nnirr.org. For information, visit www.nnirr.org.

50 workers arrested in immigration raid at Utah County business

By Russ Rizzo
The Salt Lake Tribune
Article Last Updated: 02/07/2008 11:59:21 AM MST


Posted: 11:58 AM-Fifty workers at a Utah County metal factory were arrested this morning during a surprise immigration raid.

That comprises half of the employees at Universal Industrial Sales in Lindon, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, which today released previously sealed indictments charging the company and its human resource manager with harboring illegal aliens.

About 100 Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up unannounced at the company's warehouses about 8 a.m. and began arresting workers, said ICE spokesman Tim Counts.

By 11 a.m., agents had arrested 50 people, according to the Department of Justice.

The company produces metal highway signs and guard rails. Company officials are cooperating with the investigation, Counts said. Managers could not immediately reached for comment.

Workers found to be in the country illegally will be taken by van to the Provo ICE office to be processed and then to the Utah and Weber county jails, Counts said. They will then have hearings in front of federal immigration judges.

ICE agents this morning contacted the Utah Health and Human Rights project and the Utah Division of Child and Family Services to help take care of children who may be left home alone following the raid, Counts said.

"Everyone will have the opportunity to make other arrangements to makes sure there is another parent or responsible adult to take care of their children," Counts said.

Anyone wanting information on Universal Industrial Sales workers who may be affected is asked to call an ICE hotline: 1-866-341-3858.

The indictment against the company covers the years 2003 through 2006. If found guilty, the company could be fined either $500,000 or twice the amount gained by using undocumented workers, according to the Department of Justice.

64 alleged illegal aliens arrested

March 19, 2008 8:24 AM

By MATT COUGHLIN
Bucks County Courier Times

A Bristol business was raided Tuesday morning and 64 alleged illegal immigrants were taken into custody.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents loaded the suspects onto buses after the bust at F.C. Young & Co. Inc. on Howell Street in the borough.

ICE spokesman Mike Gilhooly declined to release details of the investigation, but said the agency had detained 41 Guatemalan women, 14 Guatemalan men, five Mexican women, two Mexican men and two Honduran women. He said many still were being processed and that all will be charged with being illegally present in the United States.

Of the 64 people, 20 were released Tuesday afternoon due to humanitarian concerns, including taking care of their children, Gilhooly said. The 44 who have been detained will be brought before judges in the Executive Office of Immigration Review, he added.

Immigration lawyer Fabian Lima of Philadelphia said accused illegal immigrants are initially held locally and then transferred to immigration specific detention centers, including one in York. However, he said many have been taken to a location in Texas in recent months.

Gilhooly said officials gave the other 20 alleged illegal immigrants copies of their charges and if they fail to appear before the immigration judges their cases will be held “in absentia.” If they are then convicted and arrested again later, most would be deported without further court proceedings, he said.

Lima said some illegal immigrants are given “voluntary departure,” in which they are required to pay their own way out of the country. He said if any of those who voluntarily depart seek to return to the country in the future, they have a better chance of re-entering legally than if they had been forcibly removed.

A man inside the lobby of F.C. Young declined to comment Tuesday and said no one was available to comment. The business is in a warehouse that sits in the middle of Bath Industrial Park.

Prince William County (Virginia)

Immigration Agency Arrests 34 Workers At Construction Firm

By N.C. Aizenman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 25, 2008; Page B05

Federal immigration authorities converged on a Prince William County construction company just before sunrise yesterday, arresting 34 Latin American nationals for being in the country illegally.

Workplace raids are rare in the Washington area, and the roundup at CMC Concrete Construction in the Manassas area appears to be the largest in the region in nearly two years, according to a review of news releases on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Web site.

The workers -- who come from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica and El Salvador -- are being charged administratively and are in ICE custody undergoing deportation proceedings, said Ernestine Fobbs, a spokeswoman for the customs agency.

News of the arrests spread quickly through an immigrant community already on edge after a county law took effect this month allowing Prince William police to check the immigration status of people stopped for other infractions.

Fobbs said the agency had executed two search warrants in connection with the operation. Because those warrants were under seal, Fobbs said, she could not discuss how or why the company had drawn federal attention, nor confirm that CMC Concrete Construction was the agency's target.

James Rybicki, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, said no employers had been charged. But he added, "Obviously, we'll be reviewing the case for possible criminal charges."

Public records identify Felisberto J. Magalhaes as the president of CMC and Maria Brandao Magalhaes as its secretary and treasurer. A relative of the owners who entered the company's administrative suite in a Manassas office complex yesterday afternoon to meet with several ICE agents declined to comment.

A few miles away, at a large lot where CMC workers come to pick up equipment before heading out to job sites each day, about a dozen remaining workers stood in groups discussing the morning's events.

A 32-year-old Mexican man, who asked that his name not be published for fear of retaliation from his bosses or the government, said he and three others had driven off the lot in one of the company's pickup trucks when they noticed a silver van behind them flashing police lights.

"We thought maybe we had run a light or there was something wrong with the plates -- we figured at worst we were going to get a traffic ticket," he said.

Instead, the man said, an armed immigration agent leaned in the window and demanded identification.

"Everyone grew very quiet. We were horribly sad, but more than anything, resigned," the man said.

He said agents were able to retrieve records demonstrating that CMC had successfully sponsored him for legal permanent residency years ago. But he said two colleagues in the truck had no such proof to offer and were handcuffed, along with five workers riding in a pickup behind them.

Minutes after the roadside detentions, other workers said, immigration agency vehicles entered the lot and more than a dozen agents fanned out in pursuit of several fleeing workers.

When the Mexican worker finally reached the lot, he learned that his younger brother was among those taken away.

"You feel so impotent, to see someone you know, who is just trying to work, go through this and to not be able to help him," he said.

Immigrant Workers Arrested At Memphis Airport

Mexican Men Employed By Various Contractors, Subcontractors

POSTED: 7:54 am CDT March 26, 2008
UPDATED: 8:07 am CDT March 26, 2008

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Federal officials have arrested 34 workers at Memphis International Airport believed to be illegal immigrants working on the new Tennessee Air National Guard base.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents announced Tuesday that the workers, all identified as Mexican men, were employed by various contractors and subcontractors.

Authorities said the arrests came after a tip from Air Force investigators that believed illegal immigrants were working at the site.

Federal officials said the men likely face deportation. Authorities have not said which company employed the workers.

The project to build a 118-acre, $215 million base for the Tennessee 164th Airlift Wing near the airport is the largest single construction effort in the Air National Guard's history.

16 arrested in immigration raid in Council Bluffs

ASSOCIATED PRESS • March 27, 2008

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- Federal agents have arrested 16 suspected illegal immigrants at a Council Bluffs clothing recycling business.

Agents say the 11 women and five men arrested on Wednesday are employees of the American Clothing Co.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Tim Counts says they were arrested on suspicion of administrative immigration violations. Most of the workers are from Mexico. Two are from El Salvador.

Counts says ICE has been investigating the business for several months.

The workers will get a hearing before an immigration judge and could face deportation.
