Five illegal immigrants arrested during protest will not face deportation

We need a policy to bypass the feds, where we can transport the criminals to a border state and compensate them for sending them back. Either that or create local chain gangs............

Indianapolis— Five students arrested at an immigration protest at the Indiana Statehouse Monday will not face deportation. Federal authorities lifted detention orders against the illegal immigrants Tuesday evening.

The detention was lifted shortly after the five declared a hunger strike Tuesday. The students say the hunger strike will last until Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels (R) vetoes the immigration bill he has previously promised to sign. The students were part of a protest that went all the way to the front door of the governor's office.

Senate Bill 590 would make illegal immigrants pay much higher tuitions. The cost would be three times what they pay now. The bill, when signed into law as expected, would make illegal immigrants pay out of state tuition fees.

House Bill 1402 would crack down on employers hiring illegal immigrants by making companies use an e-system to verify workers are documented.
Sayra Perez, Ana Ruiz-Toyar, Erick Gamma, Guadalupe Pimentel and Uriel Gamma still face criminal tresspass charges for the protest. Idamarie Collazo was also arrested for resisting arrest and interferring with a police officer.
