File Photo: Two Ethiopian immigrants netted

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services announced that it has arrested a total of 1,247 illegal immigrants into Malawi from July 2016 to May 2017.

Speaking in an interview with the Malawi News Agency (MANA) on Tuesday, Deputy National Immigration and Citizenship Services Spokesperson, Wellington Chiponde, said the illegal immigrants were arrested for violating conditions of staying in the country.

According to Chiponde, some of them were conducting businesses while others were in schools, but without proper documents.

These people were from countries like India, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Burundi, Rwanda, Pakistan, and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). As a Department, after arresting them, we checked their particulars, and took them to court., said the immigration publicist.

He said the aliens who have refugee status, were sent to Dzaleka Refugee Camp, whilst the bon-refugee illegal aliens, were deported to their countries.

Chiponde said that from the 1,247 illegal immigrants, 539 were deported and 273 are pending deportation, with the remaining 435 accorded refugee status in the country.

We are trying our best to ensure that the people who are in the country illegally, should be sent back to their countries, said Chiponde.

Meanwhile, the Immigration Department has urged all Malawians to inform them whenever they suspect someone of being an illegal immigrant, because some of them threaten national security

County officials agreed Tuesday in a 4-1 vote to support the California Community Foundation with $3 million, over the strong objection of 5th District Supervisor Kathryn Barger. Dont miss a thing. Get breakingKHTS Santa Clarita News Alertsdelivered right to your inbox.

The deal grants several million dollars to the organization, which plans to use the money to provide legal defense for illegal immigrants facing deportation, according to Bargers office, which issued a strongly worded statement in opposition.

One of the bigger concerns, per Barger spokesman Tony Bell, is the misuse of Los Angeles County taxpayers dollars, which should not be used to pay for a broken federal system, in this case, immigration.

The federal government has failed time and time again to fix the problem, to provide a viable solution or to assist counties and cities in dealing with the issue, he said, adding Barger planned to continue to be watchdog for taxpayer funds.

Bargers statement reiterated the stance she took back in December, When Supervisor Hilda Solis first introduced the item.

Our federal immigration system is broken. It is the federal governments responsibility to support states and counties in their efforts to address the costs of illegal immigration, she said. Consistent with my position on this issue on December 20, 2016, county taxpayers should not be forced to bear the cost to provide free legal representation for those facing deportation.

The California Community Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling the promise of a greater Los Angeles for all of its residents. We are committed to creating positive systemic change that strengthens and empowers communities to determine their own destiny. As a leading L.A. advocate, grantmaker and partner, we support these efforts with everything we have, according to its website.

The organization is run by a Board of Directors that includes Gloria Molina, the former 1st District Supervisor whom Solis replaced.

The item was first introduced Dec. 20, 2016, by a motion to create the Los Angeles Justice Fund, which passed on a 4-1 vote.

This motion directed the County CEO to identify and set aside $1 million in Fiscal Year 2016-2017 and up to $2 million in Fiscal Year 2017-18 with the purpose of providing legal representation to illegal immigrants at risk of deportation.

This funding would be in addition to a $2 million contribution from the City of Los Angeles, and a $5 million contribution from the philanthropic community. The totality of these contributions would bring the Los Angeles Justice fund to a total of $10 million.

Barger Opposes Funding Legal Defense For 'Illegal Immigrants Facing Deportation' - KHTS Radio

The illegal alien Irish community was shocked to discover that a popular immigrant who overstayed his Visa was nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, and is set to be deported.

John Cunningham is a prominent community figure in the Boston area, with a successful electrician business, but that didnt stop ICE from arresting him for immigration violations.

John Cunningham, an Irish national, was arrested by ICE officers for immigration violations, said ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer in a statement. Cunningham entered the country lawfully under the Visa Waiver Program, but failed to depart in compliance with the terms of his visit.

A consequence of violating the Visa Waiver program is that Cunningham waives his right to an immigration hearing, and goes into mandatory detention.

Theres a great deal of fear in the Irish American community and the Irish community, said immigration lawyer John Foley, a friend of Cunninghams. I went to see [Mr. Cunningham] on Sunday and, basically, his world has been turned upside down, hes been hit with an immigration tsunami.

Life as he knew it, is over, Mr Foley said.

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has vowed to protect all illegal aliens in his city, and admonished an Irish politician for petitioning President Trump on behalf of only Irish illegal immigrants.

Its estimated that there are 50,000 Irish citizens illegally residing in the United States.

A California universitys decision to put a limit on the number of American citizens it enrolls -- while placing no such restrictions on illegal immigrants who want to attend the school -- is drawing sharp criticism from education activists.

The regents in the University of California systemrecently instituted Regents Policy 2109in response to state lawmakers threatening to withhold from the university system nearly $20 million if school officials didnt cap the number of out-of-state American students. The university's response to the state governments threat was to limit the percentage of out-of-state American students in the student body to 18 percent on most campuses.

The move is being criticized as discriminatory against Americans.

The UC system, like many others around the country, is routinely giving preferential treatment to illegal aliens at the expense of American students, many of whom are attending at great sacrifice of their parents, Kyle Olson, founder of Education Action Group, told Fox News.

It is disturbing to know the UC system is not even sure how many illegal students it has enrolled and is enabling by not enforcing our immigration laws.

The University of California currently has 16.5 percent of its student body comprised of out-of-state students. Its estimated that there are roughly 3,700 illegal immigrants studying in the UC system.

Officials for the University of California say that the school system is simply being consistent with state law.

This policy applies to students who, under California law AB (Assembly Bill) 540, qualify as state residents for tuition purposes, Ricardo Vazquez, spokesman for the University of California, said to Fox News. AB 540 allows students to pay in-state tuition fees if they meet certain requirements.

Olson says the policy may actually hurt the state and its students.

Ultimately, and ironically, the California government is actually penalizing Californians by not counting illegals as out-of-state students and thus allowing them to, in effect, take seats away from in-state students, he said.
