July 27, 2010 Free Lawyers for Mentally Ill Criminal Aliens Fighting Deportation? The group Human Rights Watch wants taxpayers to cough up even more money to make sure that mentally ill criminal aliens get an attorney so they can file endless appeals of their deportation. A report from the group criticized the lack of a full-employment mandate for tax-funded lawyers for mentally ill non-citizens trying to stay in the U.S. According to the group, up to 15 percent of all non-citizens trying to stay in the U.S. might be mentally ill.
Thousands of Drug War Deaths This Year and Mexico Sends Human Rights Inspectors to Watch Arizona "Mexico's National Human Rights Commission said Monday it is sending inspectors to U.S. border crossings to monitor deportations that might result if Arizona's new immigration law goes into effect as planned Thursday. The law is being challenged by the U.S. government in court, but the federal judge hearing the case hasn't indicated whether she might agree to the challenge's request that the measure be put on hold," the AP reports. The move comes after a report earlier this year of numerous deaths (over 22,000) over the last 3 years of the drug war. Two Americans detained in Mexico earlier this month said they were tortured by Mexican police to confess to drug crimes. When will Mexico's Human Rights Commission report on that incident?
Arizona, Nebraska Laws To Take Effect This Week "After months of protest marches, federal lawsuits, economic boycotts and support rallies, two controversial immigration laws in Arizona and Nebraska are scheduled to take effect on Thursday," USA Today writes. The measures are facing court challenges and a ruling is expected this week in the federal lawsuits challenging Arizona's SB 1070. Also today, Reuters has a long profile of State Sen. Russell Pearce, who was the driving force in Arizona behind SB 1070. 'Nobody could have guessed the impact it would have,' Pearce said of the divisive law he crafted to crack down on illegal immigrants in his state -- of which there are nearly half a million. 'Who could have guessed that I would have pissed off the president of the United States?'"
