Feds Tell Local Cops to Release 9 Illegals

Feds Tell Local Cops to Release 9 Illegals - Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at 5:42PM EST

BEAVER MEADOWS, CARBON COUNTY- Police in Carbon County say federal immigration officials dropped the ball by not responding to the discovery of 9 illegal immigrants.

The Beaver Meadows police chief pulled over a pick-up truck over the weekend. Chief Mike Morresi found 9 illegals riding in the back. He called Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE).

They told him to make arrangements to bring the 9 men to York, Pennsylvania to a detention center. When the chief said he didn't have the manpower or means he was told to let them walk free.

"Is it frustrating? Absolutely. We're putting our lives on the line everyday. We stop vehicles, we don't know who we’re stopping. I felt we did our job, found out they’re in this country illegally, what more can we do?" asked Morresi.

Local and state police cannot arrest an illegal alien unless he's wanted for a crime. Immigration laws are enforced only by federal officials.
