I'd 4 like to welcome everybody on behalf of the Sentencing 5 Commission. My name is Ruben Castillo. I'm a District Court 6 Judge in Chicago. I'm also on the Sentencing Commission. 7 Starting on my left is Commissioner Michael 8 Horowitz, Commissioner Beryl Howell, Commissioner John Steer, 9 and Commissioner Mike Elston, who is ex officio from the 10 Department of Justice. Unfortunately, we're missing our 11 chair, Ricardo Hinojosa, who has been under the weather, but 12 is getting better. It was under his fine leadership that we 13 agreed to have a series of regional hearings, principally 14 along the U.S./Mexican border, to evaluate the proposals that 15 we are looking at this year in terms of immigration and 16 criminal law. 17 We greatly respect and appreciate the work of all 18 the judges along the U.S./Mexican border. They are pressed 19 to do too much with too little. Simply put, our statistics 20 show that there has been a five-fold increase in immigration 21 offenses that are being dealt with along the border. We 22 appreciate also, on behalf of the Commission, that the vast 23 majority of these cases are sentenced within the guidelines. 24 What does the Commission want to do? Well, we want 25 to help. We certainly don't want to in any way pass any type Ad Hoc Reporting 6 1 of guidelines that would hinder the great over-tasked work 2 being conducted by our colleagues along the U.S./Mexican 3 border. 4 This is our second regional hearing. The first was 5 in San Antonio, Texas last month. We heard what was 6 occurring in Texas. Today we hope to continue and expand our 7 dialogue with judges from San Diego, the Southern District of 8 California, New Mexico, Arizona. And I really want to 9 emphasize that this is just the start of what we hope will be 10 an ongoing dialogue. We had tried to, by having working 11 groups -- and I know some of you participated in that in 12 D.C. -- we also previously sent Judges Kendall and Judge 13 Sterling-Johnson to a Fifth Circuit conference. Maybe we 14 don't get out from D.C. often enough. It's not because we 15 don't want to. We think it was important that these hearings 16 be conducted here, especially in the Southern District of 17 California. 18 Where we're concerned, as I said, is the proposed 19 amendments that deal with the unfortunate events at the 20 border. The focus is not only on analyzing those who come 21 from Mexico to the U.S., but more importantly, on protecting 22 their safety and their lives, while maintaining the integrity 23 of our borders in this challenged post-911 era that we all 24 live in. 25 We're not here also to set any type of immigration Ad Hoc Reporting 7 1 policy on who should come across and who should not. Our job 2 is strictly to try and get the penalties right with regard to 3 violations of the criminal law. It will be up to Congress to 4 decide as part of the national policy what the immigration 5 laws should be with regard to who comes in and who does not. 6 So with that, I'd like to welcome our first panel 7 from the over-tasked Southern District of California. I call 8 upon Chief Judge, and my good friend, Irma Gonzalez, and also 9 the previous Chief Judge, and my good friend, Marilyn Huff, 10 to please step up. Thank you. And we can proceed in 11 whatever order you want. 12 JUDGE GONZALEZ: I'm going to start. 13 (Pause; adjusting microphone.) 14 Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony 15 before the Sentencing Commission here today concerning the 16 proposed amendments regarding the immigration guidelines. As 17 Chief Judge of the Southern District of California, I'd like 18 to extend a warm welcome to all of you, and hopefully you'll 19 have an opportunity to enjoy our beautiful city, and 20 hopefully the weather will hold up. I know tomorrow you have 21 a tour of the border scheduled, and hopefully that will go 22 forward without any problems as far as the weather is 23 concerned. 24 The judges in the Southern District of California 25 appreciate the opportunity to discuss the proposed changes to Ad Hoc Reporting 8 1 the immigration guidelines due to the high volume of cases 2 that this court handles -- immigration cases this court 3 handles. The most recently published numbers in the 2003 4 Source Book of Federal Sentencing Statistics indicates that 5 our district sentenced 2,046 immigration defendants out of 6 the total of 15,081 defendants, or approximately 13.6 percent 7 of the total immigration cases in the District Courts. For 8 that reason, we are grateful that the Sentencing Commission 9 is here for this public hearing to discuss these very 10 important issues that are raised by the proposed amendments. 11 Our court also compliments the Sentencing 12 Commission for the thoughtful and reasoned analysis 13 accompanying the proposed amendments. We encourage the 14 Commission to carefully consider the proposed amendments in 15 light of all the testimony you will hear from everyone here 16 today, not only the judges, but the members of the Department 17 of Justice, and also the Federal Defenders or Federal Public 18 Defenders. As judges, we welcome comments from all those 19 that are interested in this topic of public concern, as I'm 20 sure you also welcome these comments. 21 In general, our district supports the concept that 22 amendments to the immigration guidelines might help achieve 23 the statutory purposes of sentencing, while providing 24 advisory guidance to the District Courts in immigration 25 cases. I will highlight in particular certain issues Ad Hoc Reporting 9 1 relating to the proposed amendments for Section 2L1.1, that 2 is, smuggling, transporting or harboring unlawful aliens, 3 while my colleague, Former Chief Judge Marilyn Huff, will 4 address special issues that relate to high-speed chases and 5 unlaw entry under Section 2L1.2, and also the overall 6 uniformity of the immigration guidelines compared to the drug 7 smuggling guidelines, and the success in our district of the 8 Fast Track Program. 9 As far as Section 2L1.1 is concerned, the court 10 supports the proposed amendment to increase the base offense 11 level for national security concerns, and leaves it to the 12 Commission to determine the best option after public comment. 13 The Commission might also want to consider whether a similar 14 adjustment for national security concerns might be available 15 in appropriate cases under Section 2L2.2, that is, 16 fraudulently acquiring documents relating to naturalization, 17 citizenship or legal resident status for own use. I notice 18 that there are some -- just one small proposed amendment for 19 trafficking in fraudulent documents, but not for fraudulently 20 acquiring the documents, although the court in this district 21 has limited experience with document cases.

POLITICAL CONTROL OF FEDERAL PROSECUTIONS: LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING FORWARD DANIEL RICHMANt ABSTRACT This Essay explores the mechanisms of control over federal criminal enforcement that the administration and Congress used or failed to use during George W. Bush's presidency. It gives particular attention to Congress, not because legislators played a dominant role, but because they generally chose to play such a subordinate role. My fear is that the media focus on management inadequacies or abuses within the Justice Department during the Bush administrationmight lead policymakers and observers to overlook the

Sheil, Acting Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Alonzo R. Pena, Special Agent in Charge, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Dallas County District Attorney Bill Hill announced that 61-year-old John Kenneth Coil, owner and operator (directly and indirectly through nominees) of 27 adult-oriented businesses in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, was sentenced earlier today to 63 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to federal charges in connection with a racketeering, obscenity, fraud and income tax evasion scheme.

  • Federal Grand Jury Indicts Former Texas Attorney
    U.S. Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas Johnny Sutton, U.S. Attorney FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shana Jones March 6, 2003 (210) 384-7452 (Austin, Texas), United States Attorney Johnny Sutton announced today that former Texas Attorney General Dan Morales was charged in a twelve-count indictment with mail fraud, conspiracy, filing a false tax return, and making false statements on a loan application. Houston area attorney Marc Murr was also indicted by a federal grand jury for mail fraud and conspiracy. The indictment alleges that Dan Morales perpetrated two schemes to defraud the State of Texas. One scheme involved the fraudulent conversion of campaign contributions to his own personal use and benefit. The second scheme, carried out with Marc Murr, involved efforts by Morales to fraudulently obtain millions of dollars for Murr disguised as attorney’s fees. “This is a case of an elected official charged with abusing the public trust. As Attorney General of Texas, Dan Morales had an obligation to the people of this state to be honest, loyal and fair; but he violated that trust by back dating contracts, forging government records and converting campaign contributions to personal use,” stated U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. The Tobacco Charges The indictment alleges that beginning in 1995, then Attorney General Dan Morales, decided to file a civil suit against several tobacco companies (Tobacco). Morales entered into a written contingency fee contract with five private attorneys (Private Counsel) to litigate the suit on behalf of the State of Texas. This contract provided that Private Counsel would pay all expenses of the litigation, up to $10 million, and would receive a 15% contingency fee of any state recovery.
