U.S. Hispanic advocates are expessing concern that illegal immigrants affected by Hurricane Katrina could be at risk of deportation if they seek aid from the federal government.

They cite a recent case of two immigrants from Central America who were part of a group of evacuees transported to the U.S. eastern state of West Virginia earlier this month. The two men were taken into custody by immigration agents after authorities received a complaint that one of them had sexually assaulted a female passenger.
