Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta: Immigration And Customs Enforcement

Robert Menendez Dept: Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta, an 18-year-old immigrant from Peru, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in front of his home in New Jersey on Dec. 6, two federal officials said. Sanchez, who entered the country on a now-expired visitor visa from Peru, is facing deportation and remains in custody. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of Sanchez s immigration case, according to The Star. Menendez, a son of Cuban immigrants who advocates aggressively for pro-immigration policies, was re-elected in November with 58 per cent of the vote. Congressional staffers who work for Menendez were notified about Sanchez s case shortly after the arrest. Sanchez told ICE agents that he worked on immigration issues for the senator. A spokesman for Menendez said he was looking into the matter and wASHINGTON Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez employed an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender as an unpaid intern in his Senate office, The Associated Press has learned. The intern is now under arrest by immigration authorities, and the Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after the Nov. 6 Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP. A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not immediately respond to a request for further details. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
