Jose Antonio Vargas: National Attention

Carleton College Dept: Jose Antonio Vargas attracted national attention last year when he revealed that he's an illegal immigrant. He was scheduled to speak at Carleton College in Northfield last Friday but never made it, according to Montreal Gazette. "He did not have a valid license, and the identification he produced when the trooper ran a check on it indicated it was cancelled due to some sort of fraudulent activity, so there was some doubt to his actual identity," Roeske said and mINNEAPOLIS - Immigration authorities said Monday they won't take action against a Pulitzer Prize-winning Filipino journalist who was arrested in Minnesota for driving without a valid license. When a state trooper stopped him in Minneapolis for driving with headphones on, Vargas produced a cancelled Washington state driver's license, said Lt. Eric Roeske, a spokesman for the Minnesota State Patrol. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
