Illegal immigration lawsuit against Plainfield-based company becomes civil rights battle

A coalition of nearly a dozen local, state and national civil rights and immigration advocacy groups jointly have filed an amicus brief to Newark's U.S. District Court in support of a motion to dismiss four of of eight counts in an illegal immigration-based lawsuit against Connolly Properties, a Plainfield-based real estate company.

Absolutely unbelievable!

[Rebel]

Instead of these civil rights groups backing the CITIZENS who have their civil rights violated by illegals and those who support illegals, they are, instead, assisting the very illegals who have no right to be here in the first place. That is absolutely ridiculous. Those people should be ashamed of themselves....

[So What]

The ACLU just doesn't get it and never will.

[Captain]

These people should themselves be tried for treason!!

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspector at the Eagle Pass Port of Entry has been indicted in San Antonio for trying to smuggle marijuana and cocaine through a Border Patrol checkpoint north of Del Rio.
Alex Moses Jr., 28, was indicted Wednesday on one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute it and with one count of importation of cocaine.
According to a probable cause affidavit on file in the U.S. District Clerk’s Office here, Moses was arrested at the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on U.S. Highway 277 about 30 miles north of Del Rio on Sunday, Sept. 28.
“Moses was arrested after he presented himself for inspection and after a canine alerted to the presence of narcotics or contraband in the 2007 white Ford truck that ... Moses was driving,” the affidavit read.
Two bundles of marijuana wrapped in brown packing tape and weighed 1.95 pounds were found in a search of the truck, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit also reads that the marijuana was hidden between the bed liner and the truck bed.
The affidavit reads that although Moses exercised his right to remain silent, a woman who was with him at the time of his arrest, identified in the affidavit as “Ky Ann Coleman, civilian, Quemado, Texas,” agreed to be interviewed.
“Coleman provided the Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Inspector General, with a written statement that she had witnessed ...Moses carrying a small brown bundle identical to the one containing the marijuana prior to his arrest. Coleman said that when the Border Patrol agents found the marijuana hidden underneath the bed liner of the ...truck, Moses told her he was going to escape by running from the checkpoint,” the affidavit read.
Coleman said several hours before the arrest, she and Moses had traveled to Ciudad Acuña, Coah., Mexico, across the border from Del Rio and she said she had witnessed Moses “purchase 10 or 12 pink colored zip lock packets containing what she believed to be cocaine.”
Coleman also told investigators that Moses had smuggled the packets back into the U.S. inside his socks.
Coleman reported that while she and Moses were waiting for the truck they were in to be searched, Moses told her that he had hidden the packets of cocaine underneath a floor mat inside the truck.
“A subsequent search of the of the floor mat at the checkpoint resulted in the seizure of 10 pink colored zip lock packets containing cocaine. An additional two pink colored packets containing cocaine were seized from inside the holding cell where Moses was being detained,” the affidavit read.
The cocaine recovered weighed a total of six grams and was wrapped “consistent with street level distribution,” the affidavit stated.
“Coleman said that prior to departing Del Rio...Moses told her that he had to do this (smuggle and transport drugs) because he owed a favor to a friend,” the affidavit read.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Rick Pauza said Moses has been employed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection for four years. Pauza said Moses is a CBP officer who served as an inspector at the Eagle Pass Port of Entry.
Pauza said Moses is currently on leave pending the conclusion of the criminal investigation against him.
“If there is a final conviction, the employee may be removed,” Pauza said.
Other news organizations, including the San Antonio Express-News, have reported that Moses is a cousin of U.S. District Judge Alia Moses Ludlum, but that fact could not be independently verified.
The case against Moses was moved from the Del Rio Division to the San Antonio Division, but a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Antonio said today he could not comment on why the case was moved.
An attempt was made to contact Ludlum Friday, but she did not return a requested phone call.

[CHICKEN LITTLE]

Everything is in spanish because America knows the mexicans are not as smart as the rest of the nations that come to live in America. They can understand the concept of English, mexicans can't.

Will the trial be in English or will we have to press 2?

[Y QUE]

ALL THEY NEED TO LEARN IS PAY UP B*I*T*C*H. DOLLAR IN ENGLISH SAME AS IN SPANISH. YOU'LL HAVE TO PRESS 2 SINCE YOU CANADIENS LIKE TO HAVE YOUR FRIJOLES UP NUMBER 2!!!!!!

[CHICKEN LITTLE]

Hmmm, I wonder if I can sue the illegals as being the direct cause of my auto insurance going up? Maybe time to have some lawyers look at that option.

Mexicans always claim not to understand English to increase the cost of a trial and decrease the chance they will go to trial.

[Ghost Rider69]

I can solve the problem send every one of then back to where the he!! They came from. And WHY do the illegal Mexicans or whatever have any legal rights? Man just send all of them and their bastard kids with them back under the fence and do it NOW. Why due the American people get this entire crap dump on us?

[Palin-Cruella DeVille]

WHY do these people hate Mexicans? I really can't figure it out! They never,never,cause me any trouble. Leave them alone. Your kids take drugs because they take drugs. They get just as much meth from trailor parks in the USA as they ever did from Mexico. If they was no demand they would be no supply anyway. Viva Mexico!pinche madres!

My only concern on illegal immigration from any source is National Security and that wages in real terms (adjusted for inflation) for the middle to low end have trended down for the last forty years indicating an over supply of labor. oogle me or is it google

Really? Why would you want to raise such a worthless and useless moot point. H*ll, my ancestors used to live in a castle. It's still standing and they have fabulous rock concerts there. Do you think they'll let me move in, because I'm a distant cousin from America? LMAO

You just love what Americans have built that you can take. Try loving Mexico more and America less, or try applying for legal entry. Thanks.

You really are clueless. The point was *not* that "if other governments can do it why not ours" (what is our "government" doing, anyway - with respect to this story - besides having our law enforcement catch a bad guy who happens to have a law enforcement job?).

The point was that in our government you might find a few doing it, but they almost always get caught, where in other governments, their law enforcement is "majority" corrupted and they turn a blind eye.

If law enforcement catches anyone, including one of their own, committing a crime, what would you expect to happen?

You write like you're a criminal in your own right and expect to get away with it, just because. Find a new country. This one so obviously does not suit your needs.

Guess you didn't pass math in, oh, let's say GRADE SCHOOL. Your relation to "fractions" is poor, at best. Half the USA was NEVER Mexico. However, with your way of thinking, since France once owned Louisiana, they must still lay some claim to it, right? Hell, the majority of this country was owned by some other country at one time. And, guess what? That car you're driving was once owned by someone else at one time (be it the dealership or a private party, etc.), so even after you finish paying it off, are you telling me that previous owner still actually owns it and thus lays some claim to it?

If you don't see how idiotic you sound, then you're worse off than I originally thought.

Seems to me that Mexico would suit your purposes far better than this country, so get on moving.

No one hates Mexicans. We want ILLEGAL ALIENS to go home (and illegal aliens come from all different countries).

Perhaps Mexicans never bother you because you're one of their best customers. Just say no.
