Members of a Valley church, including the pastor, were detained at a Prescott campground Saturday morning after they were determined to be undocumented by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
Campers at the White Spar Campground called the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office complaining that the group was singing and had music on around 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. said Dwight Develyn, spokesman for the sheriff’s office. Officers arrived at the campgrounds around 7 a.m.
Develyn said he believes the nine people detained were part of a church group, and noise complaints are fairly common at the campground.
ICE spokesman Vincent Picard said he didn’t know about this particular incident, but once someone is deemed undocumented, ICE’s next step is to seek to remove them from the country.
Law enforcement and immigration officials couldn’t confirm on Saturday the identities of those taken into custody. But Alfredo Aragon, a Christian missionary out of California working in Phoenix, said the people detained are leaders of the Phoenix church Christiana Agape.
Aragon said the group of about 13 people left for Prescott early Saturday morning for a retreat. He said sheriff’s deputies initially asked about the noise and eventually determined that nine in the group were in the country illegally.
He said church Pastor Manuel Maldonado is among the detained. Aragon said the church leaders should be given special treatment because they weren’t breaking any laws.
Aragon said the group was transported to Phoenix Saturday night and said leaders from area churches are gathering to find out how to get the church members legal help.
and what the heck were they doing "singing" at 3 or 4 a.m.??
This pastor should be arrested and thrown in jail, along with all the other members of his "church". Not only for disturbing the peace, but also for immigration violations.

He should be deported if he is Illegal. That is the law.

Cane them and deport them. I do not care if he is a pastor (and I am a Christian). I do not think deporting is enough…they beat the INS back to America.
The pastor WAS BREAKING OUR LAWS…HE WAS HERE ILLEGALLY!

They need deported. If he is here ilegally he needs to be escorted out of here in style. Church members or not-who cares-if they are illegals they do not need to be here.

In the article you posted here, these people were not out causing troubles they were just to noisy at an early hour.
It also stated in the article that noise complaints are fairly common at this campground.
Seeing the officer arrived at around 7 a.m., and problem was occurring at 3 or 4 a.m. I would have to ask why someone who was being disturbed didn’t just ask the group to hold off until a later time.
It is possible that someone did ask and the article just doesn’t state it, just as the article doesn’t state that when the officer arrived that there was any singing or music playing.
Here in Kenosha I have made noise complaints, the standard operation of procedure is once the office arrives usually in under 15 minutes.I then am told that because no one is being loud at the time if his arrival there is nothing he can do. I have never had a single noise call handled that the officer requested any form of ID from either party involved.
I have also made complaints when I lived in Milwaukee, WI., the method they used was to phone me back after an hour or so asking if noise was still a problem and if I still wanted an officer there was still going to be a wait before his arrival.
