Mexican nationals let go after mistake at N.M. traffic stop
The Associated Press
SANTA FE - Ten Mexican immigrants were mistakenly released at a drunken driving checkpoint on Interstate 25 due to a miscommunication, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman says.
New Mexico State police officers at a roadblock last Friday near Algodones stopped a sports utility vehicle with 10 people inside. Officers determined the driver had a valid out-of-state license, but that the passengers did not have permission to be in the country.
The officers said they called the Albuquerque ICE office and were told there was no space for the immigrants. But ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said Wednesday there was space, and blamed a miscommunication. "The reference to the lack of space was erroneous," she said, adding: "Our special agents didn't effectively communicate our policy to state police officers."
She said the agency is taking steps to make sure something similar doesn't happen in the future.
Senior Patrolman Jose Salazar said at the time that he had no choice but to let the immigrants go, and said ICE had no record of the driver running illegal immigrants. "At that point we have to cut them loose; there's nothing we can do," he said.
The immigrants in the group were from different states in Mexico and said they were headed to Santa Fe from Phoenix for work in restaurants and construction. Some said they had been to New Mexico before.
State police officers typically have no problem getting ICE to detain immigrants stopped by officers, Department of Public Safety spokesman Peter Olson said.
