Immigrants rounded up in Texas for drunk driving felonies
About 150 immigrants were detained in Dallas and four other Texas immigration districts as part of a federal push to deport noncitizens with three or more drunken driving convictions. Another 150 were being sought. Lynn Ligon of the INS said the policy treats living in the U S as a privilege for non citizens, with hearings unlikely to stop deportation for many aggravated felons. Some could be deported within a week.
