A high-profile Latina activist upset over a series of deportations involving young, undocumented Phoenix residents was caught Thursday trying to smuggle two of them back into the United States from Mexico in the trunk of her car, officials said.

Ana Lizabeth Roman de Harvey, 40, of Phoenix, was charged Friday with felony alien smuggling and a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to make illegal entry, according to Roger Mair, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection in Tucson.

She faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the felony charge

But, how much time will she really do? How much of a fine will she really pay?

See #21. Great minds...

But Reza believes immigration officials are using gang activity "as a pretext . . . to do raids in the barrio,"
Hey jerk, we don't have "BARRIOS" in the United States of America. If you want a barrio - go back to Mexico. I refuse to be a patsy, though my elected "representative" government "officials" illegally try to force that role upon me, through tyrrany. It's illegal - and this immigration tidal wave has to stop.

OK, I'm still trying to figure this out...
Is her name RAmOn or ROmAn de Harvey? Maybe she tried to smuggle her alter ego... ;-)
