US deports illegal alien Luis Miguel Salvador Aguila Dominguez aka ALIPAC President William Gheen

RALEIGH NC-Acting on anonymous tips from within the Hispanic-American community, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Wednesday deported Luis Miguel Salvador Aguila Dominguez, who for the last 25 years had been living illegally in the United States under the name William Gheen. According to the Department of Homeland Security, federal agents stormed the undocumented immigrant’s home in an evening raid just hours after the 41-year-old anti-Hispanic crusader suddenly announced another scam to fleece his naive followers of their hard earned cash, and immediately placed him on an Aeromexico flight departing from Raleigh-Durham International Airport. “Mr. Dominguez did not come quietly, but in the end he came,” said Marcy Whitlock of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who was injured during the MORE

Joe Arpaio Hugs It Out with Undocumented Students, Punks Out on Arresting Them

FEATHERED BASTARD They entered the belly of the beast, and they hugged it out with El Diablo. Literally. That’s right, the four immigrant students many know simply as the Dream Walkers today ascended the 19th Floor of the Wells Fargo Tower, where Sheriff Joe Arpaio has his executive offices, and met with Maricopa County’s grumpy grandpa of a gendarme. Three of the students are undocumented, one has legal residence, and there was also present a fifth comrade in arms. Although Arpaio has made no bones in the past about arresting suspected illegal immigrants and locking them up, he declined to take the human bait offered by the students, famous for trekking by foot from their homes in Miami, Florida to MORE

I am a citizen of the United States and I have a friend that is from Paris, France here on a student visa to finish his degree. Noureddine Feddane has been here since 2005. His visa is valid until March of 2010, his passport is valid until 2014, and his I-20 is current. He is not what people call an ‘illegal immigrant.’ In 2008, he fell in love and married a U.S. citizen that just happens to be addicted to prescription medications. Noureddine knew nothing about this. But he was arrested due to her mistakes. He was placed in detention and scheduled for deportation. My friend has been in detention center in Pompano Beach Florida for 5 months now. This couple has lost all there savings on lawyers, MORE

Justice Served - Illegal immigrant gets $48,000 in suit against border agents

Mike Carter of the Seattle Times reports that the federal government has paid an illegal immigrant $48,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging he was assaulted and illegally arrested by two U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents while waiting for his 6-year-old son at a bus stop. The violent and public June 12, 2006, arrest of Isabel Valencia-Perez of Mount Vernon strained relations between the city’s police department and the federal agency. There were enough questions over what had happened that city and Skagit County prosecutors contemplated filing criminal charges against agents Daryl Schermerhorn and Steven Malpezzi, according to documents obtained by The Seattle Times through a public-disclosure request. The FBI opened a criminal civil-rights investigation, looking into allegations of excessive MORE

Feds to begin immigration detention makeover

Immigration officials are immediately ending the housing of families at a former prison in central Texas as a first step in transforming immigration detentions from a criminal to a civil system. The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, John Morton, says some families will go to Berks Family Detention Center in Pennsylvania. But he also says decisions about what to do with families will be made on a case-by-case basis. Morton told reporters Thursday that redesigning immigration detention will take several years but the result will be more accountable and uniform. He says the agency will continue to detain people and do so on a large scale. That’s right folks! The infamous Hutto Detention Center will be converted into a MORE

The truth behind the Chatham County Resolution that William Gheen does not want you to know

This is the text of the resolution passed by the Chatham County NC Board of Commissioners, declining participation in the controversial 287(g) program. These are all valid reasons and completely contrary to what William Gheen of ALIPAC.us is trying convince the voters of NC about.   CHATHAM COUNTY RESOLUTION ON THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (ICE) PROGRAM  Part A – The Resolution Approved January 5, 2009, by the Chatham County Board of Commissioners George Lucier, Chair, District 3 Sally Kost, Vice Chair, District 1 Allen Michael “Mike” Cross, Commissioner, District 2 Carl E.

Hope and Heartbreak in a Small Town

Few in this threadbare little mill town gave much thought to the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility, the maximum-security jail beside the public ball fields at the edge of town. Even when it expanded and added barbed wire, Wyatt was just the backdrop for Little League games, its name stitched on the caps of the team it sponsored. Then people began to disappear: the leader of a prayer group at St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic Church; the father of a second grader at the public charter school; a woman who mopped floors in a Providence courthouse. After days of searching, their families found them locked up inside Wyatt — only blocks from home, but in a separate world. In this mostly MORE

Anti-Immigrant Fervor Translates to Terror for Women

by: Melissa Nalani Ross, On the Issues Magazine In my work on civil and human rights, especially with immigrant populations, I was contacted recently about a woman without documentation who worked at a fruit stand in the northeast. A male customer approached her and asked if she had any waitressing experience, as he needed servers at his restaurant. Seeing this as an opportunity to make a little more money to support herself and her family, the woman agreed to stop by the establishment for an interview. When she arrived, instead of sitting down and discussing a job opportunity, the woman was met by a group of men who took turns raping her. They then told her that if she went MORE
