Federal immigration officials have caught 11 illegal aliens while searching for 11 others who had been released after a traffic stop in Fairfax County in April.
Authorities found the 11 aliens in at least two residences in Woodbridge and at a restaurant in Northern Virginia, officials said. The arrests led them to begin a criminal investigation into the harboring of aliens in the Washington area.
Meanwhile, officials used toll records from a cell phone to locate an illegal alien who was released with 10 others discovered by a Fairfax County Police officer in Annandale.
"We were out looking for him," said Ernestine Fobbs, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "This was a case where we encountered him again, and he came into our custody."
The alien -- a Guatemalan native -- has been processed and is awaiting an immigration hearing, officials said.
A Fairfax County Police officer found 11 aliens -- three of whom are children -- riding in a Dodge Ram van April 10, when the officer stopped the vehicle for making an illegal U-turn in Annandale.
Police arrested the driver of the van in connection with the incident, and ICE officials said they released the aliens because they were not considered to be threats to society.
Immigration officials ordered the group to show up for processing at the ICE agency in Northern Virginia on April 14. None of the aliens showed up for the proceedings, and officials said they were not surprised by the nonappearance.
>> "everything we can do is being done"
Been there, done that ala 9/11.
Just waiting now.
BTW, love your user name, and Golcks in general.
"ICE is required by law to release illegal aliens who pose no threat. Those migrants are given a notice to appear in court, but Border Patrol agents call it "a notice to disappear."
Note to ICE re: OTM: WTF?
Set up military bases formerly in blue states on the border with shooting ranges pointing south. Nice big mounds of sand to stop bullets at the border. Nice big signs on the Mexico facing side with due warning. Allow private citizens to take advantage of the ranges when the military isn't using them. Constantly change the practice schedules. Get lots of night practice with tracer bullets too.
Expect lots of crying from Amnesty International, the ACLU, illegal support groups and liberal whiners.
Everyone wins, except illegals of course. Well, maybe they win too, because if they stay in their own country, they won't be illegals anymore!
