US Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE)
November 18, 2005 Boston MA
"Two New England high technology companies and their top executives were sentenced late Friday, November 18, 2005, in federal court for violating United States export law in connection with the export to India of equipment that is used to manufacture a material that improves the accuracy of strategic ballistic missiles with nuclear capabilities."

Fiber Materials Inc. of Biddeford Maine, it's wholly owned subsidiary, Materials International of Acton Massachusetts Leachman, top two officers Walter L. Lachman, 72, of Concorde Massachusetts and Maurice H. Subilia, Jr, 58 of Kennebunkport Maine, was sentenced by US District Judge Douglas P. Woodlock.

Lachman received three years probation, the first year which was to be spent in home detention.

Subilia received three years probation, the first six months of which to be spent in community confinement (halfway house), to be followed by one year of home detention.

A fine of $250,000 where imposed on the defendants.

I went to the US immigrations and custom enforcement web site to find more information so that I can better comment on the letters from Oregonians for immigration Reform (OFIR) third request to ICE to have a presence in Woodburn Oregon as a deterrent for illegal aliens trying to receive any Matricula Consular ID card [if you're legal you do not need one]which is also attended by different agencies from the State of Oregon.

thanks to Daniel for posting this letter

We have been frustrated on why there is a lack of interest on the enforcement of illegal immigrants. Considered for one the article above and the minute sentences that these two received.

In Oregon, (again thanks to Daniel for putting me onto this one), I want to introduce the following

72nd Oregon legislative assembly -- 2000 regular session

House Bill 2089

AN ACT

Be it enacted by the people of the State of Oregon [there is an oxymoron]
SECTION 1. ORS 181.850 is amended to read:
181.850. (1) No law enforcement agency of the State of Oregon or of any political subdivision of the state shall use agency
moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons whose only violation of law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship { - residing - } { + present + } in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.


And we wonder why there is no interest in pursuing illegal immigration.

Looks like I better start learning Spanish.
