AKanomymoose sends us a link to the story<\/a> of Alex Caceda-Mantilla, a Peruvian immigrant who had overstayed his visa when he was arrested in Palmer, Alaska on a US Immigration Detainer warrant;<\/p>\n

The ACLU says Alex Caceda, 38, had been working at Klondike Mike’s Saloon in Palmer when a bouncer attempted to throw out three men involved in a confrontation with a bartender who had just finished her shift.<\/p>\n

Caceda was attempting to come to the aid of the bartender and was beaten in the melee, the attorneys say. When Palmer police arrived to sort things out, a wounded Caceda thought they wanted to talk to him because he was the victim of an attack, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Instead, Caceda left in handcuffs. Police reports obtained by the ACLU in the case say officers determined that Caceda was living in the United States illegally.<\/p>\n

“Caceda was an illegal alien and had a U.S. Immigration Detainer warrant for his arrest,” wrote Palmer police officer Jamie Hammons. “I confirmed the warrant was active and arrested Caceda.”<\/p>\n

Caceda is from Peru and was living in the United States illegally, having overstayed a non-immigrant visa by several years, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman. Court records show he has no apparent criminal history in Alaska.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the police department because they arrested a criminal with a warrant on his ass.<\/p>\n

“We want the vulnerable communities in Alaska to know that they can call on the police for protection and not have to be worried about being ripped out of their lives and taken away because federal immigration law is being enforced,” said [Casey] Reynolds, the ACLU of Alaska spokesman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess Casey wasn’t able to pass that statement through his brain before making it public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
