NEW BEDFORD, MASS. — Two foreign nationals have been arrested on immigration violations in the Massachusetts town where police say the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect may have once lived. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Saturday that Homeland Security Investigations agents had arrested two people in New Bedford. An ICE spokesman would not comment on the people who were arrested or if they are connected to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv). The University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth student remains hospitalized after exchanging gunfire with police Friday. ICE did not say whether they are suspected in any other crimes. A federal prosecutor's spokeswoman declined comment. New Bedford police said federal authorities searched off-campus housing near the school Friday and took three people in for questioning. Police say Tsarnaev may have lived at the complex. Read more here: www.centredaily.com...=cpy

Difficult to say what this is about.

Sounds like they may have gone to investigate the previous residence of the suspects and found some guys who over stayed their visas.

But who knows.

"Stretch" Armstrong endorses this thead:


Seriously, they went door-to-door throughout an entire 20 block area, scrutinizing every single person they found -- isn't it reasonable to think that they found a person or three who was doing something wrong?

Unlike American citizens, who could claim that their rights were violated by an "unreasonable search and seizure", it seems that any illegal aliens could be taken into custody prior to deportation during such a sweep, which is pretty much what the article details.

The police went door to door in Watertown, a few miles West of Boston.

These arrests were made in New Bedford, which is in the southern part of the state, between the Cape and Newport, RI.

That would make these arrests unrelated to the sweeps in Watertown, obviously.

Perhaps they have something to do with the supposed "radicalization" of the older brother?

You're right, an error on my part, sorry, though it's still a stretch, since the quoted text above says that no one is saying that it's connected. The headline, that whoever this is was connected to the bombing, is not supported by the article. For all we know, they could be migrant farm workers from Central America.

Here's another article. This is pretty big news IMO.

The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers.

More than 1,000 FBI operatives were last night working to track down the cell and arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhar’s dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.

I think that clears it up a bit.

TV news was talking about this in connection with expired visiting visas ....
I dont know if there is a terrorist component or not ...
