Prosecution or Deportation? There is an ongoing dilemma here in Massachusetts over prosecuting violent criminals who are here illegally that has local and federal officials at odds. In the one case of a Guatemalan national facing child rape charges, the question is which legal action takes priority: convict and imprison the man for the crime he committed here in MA or deport him back to Guatemala.
