Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta: Illegal Immigrant

The Homeland Security Department Dept: The Homeland Security Department said last month, when The Associated Press first disclosed the delayed arrest of Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta, that AP's report was "categorically false.", according to Montreal Gazette. After the AP story, which cited an unnamed U.S. official involved in the case, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked the Obama administration for details about the incident and wASHINGTON - U.S. immigration agents were prepared to arrest an illegal immigrant and registered sex offender days before the November elections but were ordered by Washington to wait after officials warned of "significant interest" from Congress and news organizations because the suspect was a volunteer intern for a senator, according to internal agency documents provided to Congress. Sanchez, 18, was an immigrant from Peru who entered the country on a now-expired visitor visa. He eventually was arrested at his home in New Jersey on Dec. 6. He has since been released from an immigration jail and is facing deportation. Sanchez has declined to speak to the AP. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
