| 2007-11-16 |
| Hispanic activist Carlos Quintanilla was arrested in Irving on an accusation of driving with an invalid license and other charges Thursday, the same day he was organizing an immigration rally. Mr. Quintanilla said Accion America was holding its latest rally to urge police to not take people into custody for minor traffic violations just because they don't have a state-issued identification card or driver's license. Irving police learned of outstanding warrants against Mr. Quintanilla after he applied for a parade permit and underwent a background check. Police said they had advised Mr. Quintanilla to resolve the warrants before returning to the city. Mr. Quintanilla was taken into custody after conducting a media interview Thursday, Irving police said. According to Irving police, the outstanding warrants included: criminal trepass from the Dallas County sheriffÂ’s office; expired registration, failure to maintain financial responsibility, and speeding from Farmers Branch police; no seat belt, no driverÂ’s license and city ordinance violation from Dallas police. |

| #9 In addition: It has come out today that this individual served Federal time in the penetentiary for extortion of a company in Chicago in the mid 90's. No better person to choose to lead an effort to break the law... |

| #8 Mr. Quintanilla said Accion America was holding its latest rally to urge police to not take people into custody for minor traffic violations just because they don't have a state-issued identification card or driver's license. That certainly seems to be suborning police misconduct and a crime in and of itself. |

| #6 This clown's case of felony stupidity aside, why should police issue a parade permit to people advocating violation of the law? I can see permits for people advocating changing the law, but not for those advocating violating it. Free speech and free assembly are on thing, but foreign meddling and anarchy are quite another. |

| #3 Tell him we're exercising reciprocity with Mexico, and IAW their constitution: Chapter III Of Foreigners Article 33 - Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualities determined in Article 30. They have the right to the guarantees of Chapter I of the first title of this Constitution, but the Executive of the Union has the exclusive right to expel from the national territory, immediately and without necessity of judicial proceedings, all foreigners whose stay it judges inconvenient. Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political affairs of the country. |
