Mauro Cisneros: Another Illegal Immigrant Arrested

Elvira Arellano isn't the only ILLEGAL immigrant in the past couple of days to be held accountable under U.S. law.

Yesterday, Mauro Cisneros was arrested in Sheboygan.


SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) -- A gang member already deported once could face up to 20 years in prison for illegally returning to the U.S.

Sheboygan police arrested Mauro Cisneros, whose aliases include ages between 30 and 33, during a Monday traffic stop.

Officers pulled over his minivan after witnesses reported seeing young children jumping around in the back, Sgt. Scott Mittelstadt said. They found five children not wearing seatbelts.

A police check identified Cisneros as a deported felon, but did not give details on his conviction or deportation. Online court records in Wisconsin show only an extradition order from 2002.

Cisneros belongs to the California-based Sureno 13 gang, which has a branch in Sheboygan, police said. A police database check showed he has previous arrests in Dallas and Las Vegas on charges including robbery, drug trafficking and kidnapping.

...Sheboygan police are holding Cisneros at the request of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A conviction for returning to the U.S. as a deported felon carries up to 20 years in prison.

Cisneros also could be charged with several traffic violations and three counts of obstruction as a result of the traffic stop, Mittelstadt said.

Why didn't Cisneros seek sanctuary in a church?

Why didn't the amnesty for "undocumented immigrants" proponents come to his aid?

Why aren't media outlets across the nation telling Cisneros' story -- a man roughly the same age as Arellano who obviously can't bear being separated from his beloved gang?

Why not make Cisneros the face of the movement?

Gee, do you think his "work history" in the U.S., (the robbery, drug trafficking, and kidnapping), might have something to do with it?

Arellano is being held up as a human rights heroine for fighting U.S. law.

Cisneros is fighting U.S. law, too.

Cisneros the hero. Cisneros the activist.


Free Cisneros!

That doesn't work out too well, does it?
