#1 It's that time of year. More arrested in El Paso link:

Sixty-eight undocumented immigrants were picked up in the Gateway Hotel at 104 S. Stantona, a downtown hotel where a similar bust occurred last year, based on a tip received by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents working with the Border Enforcement Security Team (BEST). ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said the 68 immigrants included two Nicaraguans and 66 Mexican nationals, including three Mexican juveniles. She said the Mexicans would be returned to Mexico within 24 hours of the bust. "With Mexican illegal aliens, oftentimes they're removed to their country the same day," Zamarripa said.

Information from that raid led agents to six other undocumented immigrants staying at the Hotel Rainbow, 317 S. El Paso.

In March 2006, ICE agents and El Paso County sheriff's deputies detained 51 undocumented immigrants who had been staying in about 20 rooms at the Gateway Hotel.

#4 And this, from Oregon:

A Department of Motor Vehicles employee in Portland helped police catch a man accused of forgery.

Alvis Hall, an employee at the North Interstate DMV, said he noticed problems with William Da Silvas proof of Oregon residency papers on Tuesday and called authorities. I examined him and examined him, and I just wasn't comfortable with him, and I asked for more documentation, and he didn't provide any more, said Hall.

According to the police report, Da Silva told officers he is from the East Coast and goes by the name Warlem Campos Jacomini, a name flagged by the U.S. Marshalls.

Police said Da Silva flew to Oregon and paid a man $1,100 for fake residency documents so he could get a drivers license.

DMV employees said reporting forgery suspects is not linked to suspicion of illegal immigration but simply about the documents. Oregon is one of 10 states that does not require U.S. citizenship or legal immigration to apply for a license. That and the fact that vehicle registration fees are among the lowest in the nation is attractive to many people who cross state borders for an Oregon drivers license.
