Three Arrested On Immigration Violations In Ammunition Disposal Case Save Email Print

Authorities now have three people under arrest as they conduct an investigation into unspent anti-tank shells found in a Raleigh metal scrap yard.

A federal agent says three Hispanic men were being held on
immigration violations, but declined to elaborate about the case.

Disposal operations ended Friday at the plant. Raleigh police
said Army experts detonated 34 explosive devices.

Sanford police say they found similar shells at one man's home
and were told it came from the Fort Bragg area.

Two workers at Raleigh Metals Processors were injured Tuesday
when one of the munitions exploded as they sorted through the
material.

"Federal agent says three Hispanic men were being held on immigration violations, but declined to elaborate about the case." If these were American citizens they would be charged with terrorism! Why the double standard? This State PANDERS to the illegals here, polls show 80% of LEGAL citizens want these people GONE... but NO Mike Easley and Beverly Perdue just keep giving them more and more freebies. It's time for my fellow North Carolinians to stand up and say NO MORE!
