    The Removal Process Within the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 200 Immigration Judges located in 53 Immigration Courts nationwide conduct proceedings and decide individual removal cases. Removal proceedings account for approximately 80 percent of Immigration Judges' caseload. Federal rules of evidence are inapplicable in Immigration Court; thus, an Immigration Judge has greater authority to consider most kinds of evidence in deciding a case. The types of proceedings an Immigration Judge may preside over are briefly discussed below.

    Latino immigrants increasingly pessimistic about life in U.S. By Hernán Rozemberg - Express-News The combination of a lack of jobs due to a worsening economy and an unprecedented series of governmental work raids have got immigrants down in the dumps, according to findings in a new survey. The Pew Hispanic Center, a nonprofit research think tank based in Washington, concluded that Hispanics across the country, and in particular immigrants, are increasingly concerned about staying employed and being deported. According to Pew's annual national survey of Latinos, nearly two-thirds of Latino immigrants said their lives have worsened over the last year...

    A Fairview man admitted in court today that he raped a drunken woman last year after she got off a bus and passed out on the sidewalk.  Martin Cana-Chocoj, 26, said he had several drinks himself but was sober enough to know what he was doing on Sept. 11, 2007, when he carried the 29-year-old woman into a dark alley behind a bank on Fairview Avenue in Fairview.    He said he sexually assaulted her as his friend stood lookout.  Answering questions from defense attorney Jaclyn Medina and Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor David Calviello, Chocoj said the woman did not resist...

    Astronomers believe they have taken the first amazing photo of a planet around another star like the Sun. The alien world shows up as a tiny orange disk in the image captured by Canadian scientists with a giant telescope in Hawaii. Previous pictures of so-called extrasolar planets orbiting other stars have been painted by artists. The new world was spotted 500 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Scorpius, the scorpion. Astronomers were puzzled by its distance from its parent star which is 330 times further than we are from the sun. But they carried out detective work with...

    SILVER SPRING, Md. — Illegal immigrants arrested in workplace raids can now access a fund to help them post bond. The National Immigrant Bond Fund launched its national debut and fundraising campaign on Monday. Founder Bob Hildreth said Monday the goal is to raise $500,000. Through the fund, illegal immigrants arrested in raids who do not have any outstanding criminal violations can apply for financial assistance. Churches, legal organizations or community groups help facilitate their requests. The fund provides half the bail money and immigrants must pony up the rest.

    Escondido city officials refuse to give up. Two years ago, the city passed an ordinance to punish landlords for renting to illegal immigrants. But it rescinded the rental restriction after a legal challenge was filed and bills began to mount. Now Escondido is trying a new approach to what it calls the "public nuisances" of illegal immigration, citing residents for code violations such as garage conversions, graffiti and junk cars. The city is also debating a new ordinance that would restrict overnight street parking without a permit. In addition, it is drafting a policy that would prohibit drivers from picking...

The representatives of the Gay Raelian society yesterday staged a demonstration outside Parliament House to protest the Pope's arrival for World Youth Day next week. Raelian spokeswoman Eden Bates said it was an insult that the Pope would be welcomed into Australia when "our gorgeous, fantastic spiritual leader Rael wasn't even given the respect of a visa".

"There is no doubt in my mind that (Stan Romanek, a Colorado native who has reported UFO sightings,) did not post-produce this material. In other words, it's not a trick done in special effects," Jerry Hofmann, a professional film editor with more than 30 years of experience, said Thursday.

Denver resident Jeff Peckman said he has had a close encounter with extraterrestrials.

Very gentle looking, benevolent, kind of a soft appearance to it," said Peckman. He said the evidence is irrefutable that there are extraterrestrials that have visited earth frequently.

By comparison, Zaitsev says, dedicated transmissions - often described as "shouting into an unknown jungle" - are a mere whisper....

Dallas is the setting this week for a three-day conference of an advisory board to the Institute for Mexicans Abroad...

Utah County Sheriff Jim Tracy said Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to investigate the immigration status of 21-year-old Gabriel Hernandez, while ICE officials say they were not properly informed of his arrest. Tracy said internal jail documents show that jail officials made two calls to the ICE office in Orem before Hernandez was released on bail. Hernandez, of Orem, was arrested by Spanish...

Events like the March 1997 mass-sighting of strange night lights above the Valley, popularly dubbed "Phoenix Lights", have generated questions and turned skeptics into believers. A 600-page guide may lend credibility to UFO believers. The Fire Officer's Guide To Disaster Control can apparently be found in...

    It's getting ugly out there for illegal immigrants. States and cities are cracking down with harsh new ordinances, and the courts are upholding them. Not only are deportations at record highs, but immigrants are being detained at places previously understood to be off-limits, such as schools. The debate about illegal immigration, labor, social justice and international trade has devolved into open season on illegal immigrants. Arizona penalizes employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants, suspending their business license for 10 days for the first offense, revoking it permanently for the second. Valley Park in Missouri fines businesses that hire illegal immigrants....

There is a demand for labor, and immigrants are filling that demand. If we were to suddenly to have to depend on legal immigration to fill the demand for labor there we wouldn’t have enough. This is because the way the system is set up, we don’t allow enough legal immigrants into the country to meet the demand for labor. In effect, we have a...

Nevertheless, scientists warn that transmitting songs into deep space could put the Earth at risk of an alien attack.

Bush is upset that Romney changed his position on the issue, compared to what it had been when he was governor of Massachusetts, at the expense of the president's immigration reform. Bush and Sen. John McCain are not close, but the president is grateful for McCain's support on Iraq and immigration. A footnote: The president's younger brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has not endorsed any presidential candidate....

    John McCain says that he has heard the American people and now understands that we need to secure the border before enacting any “comprehensive” immigration reform. But John McCain has also said that he hasn’t changed his position. He supported amnesty in 2003 by name, proposed it in 2006 and 2007 without calling it amnesty, and says that anyone who says that he ever supported amnesty is a liar. He has insulted Americans who advocate border security and has cursed at the thought of building a border fence. Which of all of these is the real John McCain? The presence...

    Old Senator McCain nearly pulled it off. He nearly had GOP voters thinking that he gave more than a rat's backside about the security of our borders. He nearly had once again morphed his angry, goof-ball demeanor into a lovable fuzz-ball just waiting for us to give him the chance to take the reigns of the nation. Sadly with the presence of the openly hostile Dr. Juan Hernandez on his campaign, McCain's hope for the presidency should be discarded rather quickly. I've watched thousands of hours of television punditry over the last 10 years, and video-taped or tivo'd/DVR'd thousands more....

    No More Licenses For Illegal Aliens In Michigan Mon, 12/31/2007 - 10:25 — Judicial Watch Blog One of the few states in the nation that still grants driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants will finally stop doing so now that its attorney general reversed a policy stating that it’s unconstitutional to deny licenses to those in the country illegally. Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox wrote in a lengthy opinion that illegal immigrants are ineligible for driver’s licenses, reversing his predecessor’s (Attorney General Frank Kelley) opinion that denying illegal aliens licenses violates the U.S. Constitution’s equal protection clause. Cox’s opinion is legally...

    Spitzer Grants Pardon To Illegal Alien Posted on Sunday, 23 of December , 2007 at 7:36 pm ALBANY—Gov. Eliot Spitzer ignored requests for executive clemency from scores of New York residents, some receiving unjust sentences under the Rockefeller Drug laws while others were convicted under extreme mitigating circumstances. Instead, he granted a full and unconditional pardon to an illegal alien to prevent his deportation. Spitzer seems to have a thing for illegal aliens, proposing this fall to give them driver’s licenses. One day after a Siena College poll indicated that 70 percent of New Yorkers opposed his license plan and...

    Prosecutors say illegal immigrant charged in killing of officer got help to re-enter U.S. The owner of a landscaping firm was arrested Wednesday and faces up to 10 years in federal prison, accused of harboring one of his workers, an illegal immigrant from Mexico charged with the capital murder of a Houston police officer. Court documents show that Robert Lane Camp, 47, went to considerable lengths to help Juan Leonardo Quintero and keep him on the job at his Deer Park landscaping company before the September 2006 killing of officer Rodney Johnson. In August 1998, Camp posted a $10,000 bond...

In imaginary form, these inquisitive extraterrestrials have been helping astronomers work out how much detail the next generation of space telescopes could reveal on Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. Seeing any detail at all is a tough task. Even at the distance of the nearest stars, only a few light years away, terrestrial planets would appear so small...
