Illegal Files Million Dollar Suit

[sjr09 155]

Illegal Alien Files Million Dollar Suit against Sheriff in Attempt to Undermine 287(g)Last Tuesday, an illegal alien filed a federal lawsuit against officials in Frederick County, Maryland, claiming that her civil rights were violated when deputies arrested her last year. The plaintiff, Roxana Orellana Santos, a Salvadoran immigrant, alleges she was detained despite committing “no criminal offense under Maryland law,” though it seems clear from her detention by immigration authorities that she was held for being in the country illegally. (CNN, November 11, 2009).

Her attorney would not confirm her immigration status to CNN, responding, “We’re not commenting on that at all.” (Id.) Santos, backed by pro-amnesty groups Latino Justice PRLDEF and Casa de Maryland, is suing Sheriff Jenkins, Deputy Openshaw, the Frederick County Board of Commissioners, and current and former immigration officials for allegedly questioning and detaining her based solely on her ethnic appearance. (Washington Post, November 11, 2009; CNN, November 11, 2009). Santos, who does not speak English, claims that she was eating lunch when two deputies asked her for identification, then detained her and turned her over to immigration authorities for possible deportation after she produced a national identification card from El Salvador. (Frederick News Post, November 13, 2009). However, Sheriff Jenkins disputes this characterization, stating that the deputies were doing a routine check of the area when she jumped up and ran behind a storage container after seeing the deputies. (The Gazette, November 12, 2009). The deputies checked her identification against a federal immigration database, and learned the plaintiff had an outstanding arrest warrant from ICE for failing to appear in court.

Well they are above the law.

I wonder if the 'why do you hate brown people' works in a court of law.

I'm not surprised. It goes with the "entitlement" mentality that these people and their cheerleaders have.

It is not in dispute that she is an illegal alien subject to arrest, detainment, and deportation. The cheerleaders dispute that the illegal alien's arrest is illegal.

With this type of standard set...is it any wonder that there are 20 million of these freeloaders running amok in the USA with millions more on the way?

25 years ago this would be laughable...today this is considered "progressive". It's really just another nail in the coffin of the USA. It started with the 1st illegal alien amnesty in 1986 and has continued further down the toilet with the other 6 amnesties that followed. Obama and his cronies wants to put the icing on the manure cake with an 8th amnesty. No wonder these azzwipes have an entitlement mentality. Do you expect them to think otherwise with such a low standard as the norm?

First of all I would bet this is a case of some group using this ladies case as a reason to challenge the law.. in the same way "Roe" in Roe-V-Wade was used to challenge the Right to an abortion.

So I don't blame this illegal as much as I would this group using her case.

The 287 g is the only real effect tool that has allowed local agencies to arrest, identify (finger prints) illegals and start them down the long costly process of removal.

Pro Illegal groups fear this program as it is the only real thing standing in their way a free reign in this country.

Fact is... if you never get arrested, you never have anything to worry about from this program.

----------------

Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) was made law in the United States in 1995 as a result of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). Section 287(g) authorizes the Federal Government to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies, permitting designated officers to perform immigration law enforcement functions, pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), provided that the local law enforcement officers receive appropriate training and function under the supervision of sworn U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Under 287(g), ICE provides state and local law enforcement with the training and subsequent authorization to identify, process, and when appropriate, detain immigration offenders they encounter during their regular, daily law-enforcement activity.
