RIVIERA BEACH — A police standoff with a family facing deportation ended peacefully about 9:45 a.m.
Luis Hernando Camelo surrendered to immigration officials along with his wife, Norha Guaza. Their daughter was allowed to stay behind with the family's attorney.p>
Police had blocked off a section of the Thousand Oaks development for several hours as they tried to to persuade the family from Colombia to cooperate with immigration officials.
Agents from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement came to the home at 2114 Oakmont about 6:30 a.m. with orders to remove the family, police said. Camelo answered the door but refused to cooperate. He told the agents his family would not surrender until talking to their lawyer and closed the door.
Camelo is a former Colombian police office. Immigrations officials said they called police for backup as a precaution in case Camelo was armed. Authorities later determined he was not armed.

In case ILLEGAL ALIENS aren't aware of it, it costs taxpayers a bunch of money to pay the police. The problem is that Camelo is a former Columbian officer, and they don't know what illegal and illegal is in that country. |
