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.

Ramon de Harvey came to the United States illegally in her late teens and became a citizen in 1993.

1986 amnesty, perhaps?

"She faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine "

Let's see..she objects to deporting teenagers with no way to prove they are here legally...thinks it's racial profiling,(they aren't raiding those Norwegian neighbor hoods looking for illegals,you see.)
She tries to smuggle two back into the US,..but she is an activist not a smuggler(I thought smugglers smuggled?)

"She's not a smuggler," said Salvador Reza, who worked with Ramon on Palomino's day labor center. "She's an activist that takes her job so serious that she's willing to risk it. She gets something into her head, thinks it's for the 'good of the cause' and doesn't care what the consequences are. She follows her heart but just doesn't use her brain."

Time to educate her on the law of the land!, Send her to the big house

"My client has been an upstanding and well-known activist and member of the Phoenix community for many years," Tucson attorney Michael Harwin said in a prepared statement. "My client is confident that the United States District Court and the United States Attorney will treat her fairly." If she was upstanding she would break the law especially one that's a felony. Your client should be dealt with fairly and will right up to the time that she hears the cell door slam shut. Then her cell mates will be the only ones she can plead to for fairness. Don't think they'll listen.

Your client is now charged with a felony, Michael.

Roman de Harvey and members of the Hispanic community accused the government of engaging in racial profiling.

Ramon de Harvey came to the United States illegally in her late teens...

19 [illegal alien] youths, including 14 minors, have been sent back to Mexico... all of the youths had gang ties...

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...

"She's not a smuggler," said Salvador Reza, who worked with Ramon on Palomino's day labor center. "She's an activist that takes her job so serious that she's willing to risk it.

Conclusion: racial profiling.

Yeah right! She'll get some lib judge who'll give here time served and order the state to pay her damages.
