Non-Citizens Registered To Vote In Lawrence, But Officials Shrug
(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – When police arrested Joel Santiago-Vazquez last year, they found a stash of powder and crack cocaine hidden in a false bottom of a Pringles potato chip can.
Police also found, according to their report, that federal immigration authorities had "no record of (his) entering the country". A detainer was issued, and Santiago-Vazquez became one more illegal immigrant caught in the crosshairs of the federal government.But FOX Undercover found out something else about Santiago-Vazquez. He's been registered to vote from his home address in Lawrence since 2010.
Our investigation shows he's not the only registered voter in Lawrence who is not a citizen. By cross-checking Lawrence voter records with criminal records that included records indicating lack of citizenship, we found three others:
* Bruno Paulino is a legal resident detained by immigration authorities earlier this year, has been a registered Lawrence voter since 2009;Also apparently unconcerned is Bruce Foucart, Special Agent-in-Charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Victims Unit (ICE SVU), statuetarily charged with enforcing the immigration laws of the United States.
* Jose Jimenez, a legal resident who faces "potential deportation to the Dominican Republic", according to federal court records, has been a registered Republican in Lawrence since 2010;
* and Marcos Acosta, picked up during a recent immigration sweep, has been a registered voter in Lawrence since 2008.
Give Bruce a call and ask him to earn his pay:
