Mom arrested, kids left on I-85
http://www.newsobserver.com/news/crime_safety/story/1150866.html
Excerpt:
An illegal immigrant arrested on a traffic violation last month was forced to leave her three children on the shoulder of Interstate 85 in the middle of the night -- where they were alone and stranded for eight hours.
An Alamance County sheriff's deputy pulled Maria Chavira Ventura over just before 2 a.m. on June 14, according to arrest records. He took her to jail for driving without a license and displaying a false license plate, and she was eventually put under a federal deportation order. He left her children, 14, 10 and 6, with a man they barely knew, according to the N.C. Justice Center and Maryland social workers. He was a fellow church member who had been catching a ride with the family.

First they came for the undocumented immigrants....
The person who submitted this story to a mailing list I subscribe to wrote:
| Quote: | I am deeply saddened that this could happen only a few miles from our home in a neighboring county. Alamance County, one of the first counties to follow Mecklenburg County's lead in North Carolina, is known to abuse the 287(g) program. The sheriff and his men routinely set up road blocks near churches, stores, restaurants and a flea market that immigrants patronize. Stopping immigrant motorists for minor traffic violations is standard procedure. Like US Rep. Sue Myrick (who started the program in NC) and former Mecklenburg County Sheriff Pendergraph (who now works for the DHS to promote 287(g) all over the state), they claim the program is used to 'take criminals off the street.'
In reality, however, the program leads to racial profiling and human rights violations, tears apart families and terrorizes whole communties, endangers women and children, and turns all of us ' legal' citizens into inhumane monsters. Reading the response of the sheriff's department to this irresponsible and criminal act of child endangerment, I am reminded of the country of my birth, Germany. The lessons I took from its history are clear: Human rights represent the higher form law. Remember, all the horror that Hitler created was 'legal.' |
