In New Bedford the INS swooped down and hauled women out of the shop (where they were being paid slave wages) and sent them to Texas to be deported. No time to even call to secure their children's welfare. Gov Patrick had to send social workers to Texas to help them make arraignments for their kids. Shop by the way had a very lucrative contract with the government.

Deport Libby now, ask questions later....

Scooter Libby faces incarceration pending appeal Michael Roston
Published: Thursday June 14, 2007

A Federal District Court Judge ruled that former White House Adviser I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby must report to prison in 30 to 45 days, according to a breaking news report from MSNBC. Libby was sentenced last week to 30 months in prison after March convictions for perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements in an investigation of the leak of the iden y of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. He had sought to delay serving his sentence while his case was on appeal. Libby may now file an emergency appeal to keep him out of prison while he makes his case against his conviction.

Maybe it was the harassing phone calls and letters?

The federal judge who oversaw I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby’s CIA leak trial said Thursday that he received threatening letters and phone calls after sentencing the former White House aide to prison.

“I received a number of angry, harassing mean-spirited phone calls and letters,” U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said. ”Some of those were wishing bad things on me and my family.”

Walton made the remarks as he opened a hearing into whether to delay Libby’s 2 1/2-year sentence. He said he was holding the letters in case something happened but said they would have no effect on Thursday’s decision.
Throughout this process we've been told that if the judge sent Scooter directly to jail before his appeals were finished there'd be to pay. Let's see if the foot stomping begins. And, how much good it does.
