Latino activist gets arrested; no one is surprised

Well, we saw this one coming. Immigration-rights activist Coyotl Tezcalipoca acted up at yesterday’s Costa Mesa City Council meeting and he was promptly arrested. And, as I had surmised, the guy isn’t really named Coyotl. His real name is Benito Acosta, but I don’t blame him for adopting his nomme de guerre. It fits his agenda perfectly.

The O.C. Register reported that “The City Council voted 3-2 on Dec. 7 to seek a formal relationship with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would train about 40 Costa Mesa detectives, jailers and officers to enforce immigration laws on people suspected of unrelated felonies.”

You have to wonder if Costa Mesa police officials will run Acosta through the U.S. immigration database. It would be high comedy if he were to be deported. You can read the O.C. Register article at http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/homepage/article_929384.php.
