New Discoveries on The Arrest of Jesus Gutierrez

Since the arrest Jesus Gutierrez we have discovered that the university's role in the arrest of Jesus Gutierrez is even worse than we first suspected -- the UCPD basically deputized themselves as ICE agents and acted in their place. The UCPD received information alleging that Jesus was using false papers to work at UC-Berkeley, and they took it upon themselves to arrest Jesus and charge him with identity fraud. They then called ICE. Jesus is suspected of no crime save for allegedly working using false identification. He is now currently charged with felony identity fraud, a charge that is reserved for people who use ID information to steal money. He has basically been charged as a felon by UCPD simply because they suspect he is undocumented. This is precisely what the walkouts and marches in spring 2006 rejected in defeating HR 4437. UC-Berkeley is treating its own workers as felons.
