Red-Light Cameras Not So Special?
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials arrested 21 more people over the last two days in connection with a fake visa scam in Little Village, the same site where a similar sweep occurred last year.
The "St. Louis crew" allegedly operated in the area of 26th Street and St. Louis Avenue from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.Authorities say the crew used 8 to 10 "miqueros," or hawkers, who stood on corners to find customers. A miquero set up the price of the documents -- usually up to about $150 -- and directed customers to photography shops, including Foto Studio Reyes or Foto Davila Inc., officials say.

Those mean, mean ICE officers. They won't let these kind people print up their phony documents.
And don't they know that Alderman Ricky Munoz is trying to stay popular with his "sanctuary city" constituents? ICE is making it look like he has no clout.
Of course, Munoz' father is prison at this very moment for doing the SAME THING as the people arrested this week.
