“An Arizona state judge recently denied bond to Melvin Omar Hernandez because he believes Mr. Hernandez is an illegal immigrant and, thus, a flight risk.
Its a step unique to Arizona, which has a new law – approved by 78 percent of voters here in November – that essentially denies bail to suspected illegal immigrants who’ve probably committed serious crimes. Known locally as Proposition 100, it is intended to make sure those suspects stay in jail and face criminal charges rather than slipping across the southern border to avoid prosecution or getting deported by federal immigration officials.”
