The lawsuit comes after the county filed a similar lawsuit in March after DHS refused to release information about Carlos Martinelly Montano, an illegal immigrant charged in a alcohol-related traffic crash last year that killed a nun and injured two others. Montano, an illegal immigrant, had been arrested before in Manassas and turned over to DHS.
Prince officials say several Freedom of Information Act requests from the county to DHS asking for information on criminal records of illegal aliens turned over from the county to DHS prior to 2008 went unanswered.

With the stroke of a pen on Tuesday, President Obama capped months of contentious wrangling over both the national debt and how the federal government spends its money. As is typical of many compromises, this one did not really satisfy anyone.
The result is that many of the hard decisions needed to truly get our fiscal house in order have been deferred to a later time. In this case, that later time is Thanksgiving, when a “super-committee” composed equally of House and Senate members, Republicans and Democrats, is to make recommendations on where to cut the budget to bring it in line with the $1.5 trillion in cuts the new law calls for. If the “super-committee” can’t agree on where to make those cuts, then they will be made automatically, 50 percent from the “security” side (which includes Defense spending) and 50 percent from entitlements (like Medicare).
