the men were released on special circumstances, but couldn't specify what those circumstances were.

Very interesting.

So making a Citizens Artrest on illegal immigrants is now called Unlawful Imprisonment?

[snopercod]

This is so predictable.

They'll be given 2 years probation, and have to turn in all their firearms. The parole agents will be able to search their homes at will during that time.

[Texas_Jarhead]

too bad the illegals were held for unlawful entry.

[Texas_Jarhead]

oops.

too bad the illegals were NOT prosecuted for unlawful entry.

[GoRepGo]

What a travesty of justice. According to an earlier article that was posted on FR, they will be bringing the illegals back to Yuma to testify against Hoffman & Dumas!

Unfortunately, in the PC world we live in, yes it is.

"Other than calling the case "interesting," Orozco said she couldn't comment on it."

With a last name like that, it's not surprising which side she's on.

Apparently so. Sad, huh?

[ought-six]

"Have you guys ever heard about Umberto Bossi, the Italian minister? He once advocated using battleships to sink boats transporting illegal inmigrants."

Works for me.

Get used to it. The marxists and their useful idiots, the soccer moms, want this. They have been very successful at dividing us all up into little groups where when government comes down on one group, the others either don't care because it's not happening to them or outright cheer on the government to rip the target group to shreds. Welcom to 21st century America.

I wonder if that drooling imbecile Asa Hutchinson will plead guilty for not doing his job? A dead fish rots from the head, of course.... write in Tancredo in 2004.

Under Arizona law, you can only perform a citizens rest in reaction to either a probable felony or misdemeanor riot (which does not apply). The strong majority of illegal immigrants, at the time of their crossing the border, are guilty of a federal administrative offense, not a federal felony, hence being an illegal immigrant without some other kind of offense in progress, such as drug smuggling or breaking into a building, does not rise to the threshhold where citizens arrest is sanctioned by the state of Arizona.

That's why responsible border groups such as American Border Patrol typically will only observe illegals and report them to the authorities instead of trying to apprehend them.

[glock rocks]

is conspiracy to commit unlawful imprisonment a felony there?

Welcome to Amerika.

[A CA Guy]

This is the type of crud with citizens that gets some goof sniping at the border. The people can take so much.

Why is a criminal illegal alien given almost sainthood with our state?

Won't picking on our citizens cause probable violence as a result?

I can see where if they frustrate land owners like this, eventually they'll probably shoot a bunch of illegals and say they were being attacked by those illegals as to not get jailed like these other two guys?

If the government would do their job there would be no issue here or citizens getting into legal troubles.

[PRND21]

Dumas and Hoffmann are good law-abiding Americans.

No, they are not.
