Today the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2009\/feb\/13\/deported-for-drugs-illegal-still-sued-arizona-ranc\/\">Washington Times<\/a> writes that one of those illegals, Gerardo Gonzalez is a felon convicted in the US for drug smuggling and deported in the &#8217;90s;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Gonzalez, whose illegal re-entry after removal under U.S. law would be another felony, is among five women and 11 men detained by Roger Barnett, owner of the Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Asked about Gonzalez, [Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF)]  spokeswoman Laura Rodriguez in Los Angeles said Thursday night that a gag order had been issued in the case and she could not comment.<\/p>\n<p>MALDEF had sought Jan. 6 to preclude questioning, testimony or evidence regarding Gonzalez\u00b4s drug conviction and his removal from the U.S., saying it was &#8220;irrelevant to the factual and legal issues at hand and extremely prejudicial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Victor A. Rodriquez also sought to exclude at trial the numerous photographs and a videotape depicting vandalism and the transportation of illegal drugs through the Barnetts\u00b4 ranch. He said the photos and video did not involve any of the plaintiffs in this case.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 8, Judge Roll denied both motions. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, other than letting this specious case go forward, the judge is at least appearing to be fair.
