&lt;div&gt;Preciosa Dumlao - AHN News Writer&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postville, Iowa (AHN) - At least 300 people were arrested, mostly over illegal identity theft and illegal immigration, by federal immigration agents in northeastern Iowa at the world&#039;s biggest meat processing plant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to local newspaper, Gannet, federal immigration authorities received numerous information about alleged illegal workers overstaying for the past two years at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in Postville.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A former plant supervisor told Federal immigration that the company was allegedly accepting and hiring illegal workers from Mexico, Eastern Europe and Guatemala, who were in the U.S. illegally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The source said the plant was also running a metamphetamine laboratory and workers were bringing weapons inside the plant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some 40 workers were released on &amp;quot;humanitarian reason&amp;quot; after being arrested because they were caregivers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Attorney Matt Dummermuth said the plant raid is the largest operation in the history of Iowa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CHRIS KAHN&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PHOENIX (AP) &amp;mdash; Gov. Janet Napolitano ordered the state to end an anti-illegal immigration contract with a high-profile sheriff Tuesday so she can pay for a larger effort to track down thousands of felons around Arizona.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday criticized the governor&#039;s decision as a maneuver to thwart his efforts against illegal immigrants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Dirty politics are at work right now,&amp;quot; Arpaio said at a news conference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arpaio, who describes himself as &amp;quot;America&#039;s Toughest Sheriff&amp;quot; and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna sandwiches, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, received praise for his anti-immigration efforts from many who believe the federal government isn&#039;t doing enough to remove people in the U.S. illegally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But his raids and sweeps of illegal immigrants in Phoenix and nearby Guadalupe have drawn protests from community leaders and civil liberties advocates. Arpaio, a Republican, has also been criticized for letting thousands of felony warrants go unserved while he chased illegal immigrants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, there are about 59,000 outstanding, unserved felony warrants in the state. The majority are in Maricopa County, the state&#039;s most populated county.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Napolitano spokeswoman Jeanine L&#039;Ecuyer denied that the Democratic governor was trying to cut into efforts to stop illegal immigration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It couldn&#039;t be further from the truth,&amp;quot; L&#039;Ecuyer said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pennie Gillette-Stroud, the DPS chief of the criminal investigations division, said Napolitano&#039;s multi-agency task force will focus on violent, repeat criminals as well as undocumented immigrants with felony warrants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To help pay for the task force, the state Department of Public Safety won&#039;t renew a $1.6 million contract with the sheriff&#039;s office. That contract ends May 17th, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In 1994 the voters of California voted to deny illegal immigrants social services, health care, and public education...........A&amp;nbsp;Federal court&amp;nbsp;overturns the election setting the stage for the massive invasion of illegal aliens...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Country highest court appointed Bush in 2000.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yesterday&amp;nbsp;by a vote of&amp;nbsp;4 to&amp;nbsp;3 California top court&amp;nbsp; overturns the election results banning gay marriage. Once again the will of the people is dashed by 4 people in robes..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I don&#039;t care one way or another if gays want to marry each other........In fact I kinda like it because I get a kick of the religious right&amp;nbsp;reaction&amp;nbsp;to gay marriage. I think it&#039;s funny when&amp;nbsp;they spew&amp;nbsp;at the mouth..........anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I think I am done with voting.....Whats the point of voting if your vote doesn&#039;t count.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;textTimestamp&quot;&gt;AP news&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;textTimestamp&quot;&gt;DARWIN, Australia - An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the car&amp;rsquo;s floor, police said Tuesday.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;Constable Wayne Burnett said he was &amp;ldquo;shocked and appalled&amp;rdquo; when he pulled over the unregistered car Friday in the central Australian town of Alice Springs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;The 30-can beer case was strapped in between two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, but on the car&amp;rsquo;s&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;textTimestamp&quot;&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The child was sitting in the lump in the center, unrestrained,&amp;rdquo; Burnett told reporters Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I haven&amp;rsquo;t ever seen something like this before,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;The driver was fined 750 Australian dollars &amp;mdash; about $710 &amp;mdash; for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle and for failing to ensure a child was wearing a safety belt.&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Its a sad day in America when a group who&#039;s sole purpose is to protect the borders of this great country&amp;nbsp;has their right taken away by groups that encourage illegal activity............&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By ALLISON HOFFMAN&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SAN DIEGO (AP) &amp;mdash; When members of an anti-illegal immigration group offered to sponsor litter cleanup on local roads, they never imagined California officials would offer them an Adopt-a-Highway stretch near a Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 5, the main artery carrying illegal migrants north from the U.S.-Mexico border.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Friday, lawyers for the San Diego Minutemen told a federal judge that the state had no right to rescind the offer after state legislators complained to the California Department of Transportation. The group asked that its blue Adopt-a-Highway sign be put back where it stood without incident for about six weeks until the agency removed it in January.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We were moved to silence our message in response to pressure from the open border advocates and the Latino caucus,&amp;quot; said Minutemen attorney Robert Fuselier. &amp;quot;It all comes down to one thing: We can&#039;t have our speech because if we do, people who don&#039;t like it might become unruly and unlawful.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Attorneys for the state contend the sign was removed because of concerns that demonstrators or vandals could create safety hazards for the 160,000 drivers who pass the checkpoint daily and for Minutemen volunteers collecting litter by the roadside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Minutemen have had a polarizing influence in San Diego the last several years, achieving hero status among advocates of tightening border restrictions and sparking outrage from immigrant groups who accuse members of harassing migrant workers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;State lawyer Jeff Benowitz told U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes the Adopt-a-Highway signs amounted to a &amp;quot;thank-you&amp;quot; from the state, not political messages protected under the First Amendment. He said transportation officials planned to end all sponsorship of roads near Border Patrol stations, and had offered to reassign the Minutemen to a two-mile stretch of state route in a less-trafficked area in eastern San Diego County.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hayes asked whether the state would continue moving the Minutemen sign if protests followed it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It would seem you&#039;re saying you&#039;re allowing the people who are unhappy with the message to dictate who can be in the program,&amp;quot; the judge said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We can do that,&amp;quot; Benowitz responded. &amp;quot;It is not a public forum.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Courts have found otherwise. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Ku Klux Klan after Missouri officials sought to bar the group from its Adopt-a-Highway program under a regulation prohibiting groups that deny membership based on race or with a documented history of violence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;State legislators, meanwhile, renamed the contested stretch of highway the &amp;quot;Rosa Parks Highway&amp;quot; in honor of the black woman arrested in 1955 when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Ala.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;California assemblywoman Lori Saldana of San Diego said she was considering legislation that would stop the transportation department from accepting new sponsorships until it develops standards governing who qualified to participate in the highway adoption program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We want them to say what constitutes a legitimate group,&amp;quot; Saldana said after the hearing. &amp;quot;Do we want these people allowed on a highway near a security checkpoint?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police searched the home of San Diego Minutemen leader Jeff Schwilk in 2007 during an investigation into alleged vandalism at three migrant camps in San Diego&#039;s McGonigle Canyon. No members of the group were arrested.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We are not a hate group,&amp;quot; Schwilk said outside the courtroom Friday. &amp;quot;The open borders people have made it very clear that they don&#039;t want our participation anywhere in San Diego County.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said neither the sign nor the group&#039;s litter cleanup activities created hazards during the six weeks the sign stood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hayes said he would issue a written decision on the matter, but it was unclear when.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;story-byline&quot;&gt;I&#039;m not sure how I feel about this what do you think.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;story-byline&quot;&gt;By Ken McLaughlin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SAN JOSE, Calif. &amp;mdash; When Congress passed an economic stimulus package giving hefty rebates to most taxpayers, it tried to make sure that illegal immigrants didn&#039;t get any of the cash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in doing so lawmakers inadvertently penalized at least 1 million legal U.S. residents&amp;mdash;and tens of thousands of U.S. troops stationed overseas&amp;mdash;simply because their spouses lack a Social Security numberImagine an American soldier in Iraq whose foreign-born wife is waiting for an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-immigration-storygallery,0,407645.storygallery&quot;&gt;Immigration&lt;/a&gt; petition to be approved and doesn&#039;t have a Social Security card. Now the couple can&#039;t even get a rebate,&amp;quot; said Rep. &lt;a class=&quot;taxInlineTagLink&quot; id=&quot; PEPLT003976&quot; title=&quot;Zoe Lofgren&quot; href=&quot;http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics/zoe-lofgren-PEPLT003976.topic&quot;&gt;Zoe Lofgren&lt;/a&gt; (D-Calif.). &amp;quot;That is really stupid.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others in the predicament include legal residents whose spouses are still overseas because of long &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-immigration-storygallery,0,407645.storygallery&quot;&gt;Immigration&lt;/a&gt; lines and hundreds of thousands of H-1B work visa holders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scope of the problem is only now becoming clear as the government begins sending out rebate checks. The first checks were electronically deposited in bank accounts early this month&lt;/p&gt;
