Hispanic activist Carlos Quintanilla didn't get to attend his protest why want Carlos obey our laws warrants?

IRVING 鈥?The driving force behind recent protests against Irving police immigration policies didn't get to attend the latest rally he had planned for Thursday at City Hall.

Carlos Quintanilla spent most of the day in jail after being arrested by Irving police on outstanding warrants after he had concluded a television interview.

Police said Mr. Quintanilla, leader of Dallas-based Accion America, had seven outstanding warrants 鈥?mostly traffic citations 鈥?from police in Dallas and Farmers Branch and the Dallas County sheriff's office. He was arrested after an Irving police lieutenant saw him giving an interview to a reporter in the 1000 block of East Irving Boulevard.

Police said Thursday that they became aware of Mr. Quintanilla's warrants when they performed a background check after he applied for a parade permit last month. He was told to take care of the warrants before returning to Irving or face arrest, police said. Mr. Quintanilla was being held at Irving jail late Thursday in lieu of $3,014 bail and could not be reached for comment. Only about three dozen protesters, mostly Hispanics, gathered at Irving City Hall by 4:30 p.m. Thursday for the latest protest of the Police Department's policy of turning over arrestees suspected to be illegal immigrants to federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

That turnout was dramatically lower than what had been expected and promoted. It also was much lower than the several hundred people who turned out for similar rallies in Irving in September and October. At the October rally, a group that supports the Criminal Alien Program also rallied to voice its support of police. The Citizens for Immigration Reform also will rally again at 10 a.m. Saturday at Irving City Hall

Well, he supports illegal immigration, so why does this not surprise me that he himself breaks the law? In this case, justice was poetic....LOL
The reason most likely that demonstrator turnout was lighter than expected was probably due to the fact of all those illegals were being deported...hence, the Irving police are doing an OUTSTANDING job!

You should repost this question. You made some spelling errors.

So the cops jailed him on some turumped up charges. That doesn't mean he broke the law--it means the cops did. That makes THEM CRIMINALS.

Gotta love Irving Tx.

Awww, toooo bad.

Just another case of good morals and family values.

LOL

carlos learned the hard way, don't do the crime if you can't do the time!

Perfect. He shot himself in the foot. Wish all these protesters would.
