State Custody: Forgery Charge and Crime Victims

state custody: The Gonzalez case drew national attention, according to Metro News. Domestic abuse victim advocates criticized the arrest, saying it would dissuade other crime victims from reporting abusers for fear of deportation. Although U.S. District Judge Frank Montalvo sentenced the 33-year-old Mexican national to time served on Thursday, she remains in state custody on a forgery charge. Federal authorities say Gonzalez has been deported several times and has a criminal record. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
