Deport The Criminals First (Guest Blogger Edition Vol. 2)
[posted by Justin Levine]
A busy week for this topic. The problem cuts across all races and classes folks.
Check out who else managed to sneak in across our borders:
A 17-month search for a mysterious witness to a high-speed crash that left a $1-million Ferrari Enzo in pieces in Malibu has ended with the arrest of a 26-year-old Marina del Rey man.
Trevor Michael Karney was in custody today on misdemeanor charges of drunk driving, resisting arrest and giving false information to a police officer, along with a possible federal immigration violation, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.
Authorities said Karney is apparently the fictitious “Dietrich” who fled after the Feb. 21, 2006, crash that left the Ferrari — one of only 400 ever built — strewn in pieces over 1,200 feet of Pacific Coast Highway.
Investigators said he apparently hid out in Ireland before sneaking back into the U.S. through Mexico.
The article actually doesn’t specify what nationality this guy is. It implies that he might be from Ireland, but he could have American citizenship for all I know (even though he decided to sneak back in illegally). Regardless, this story still serves to illustrate the extent of the problem.
