Hispanics outnumber other ethnic groups among criminal offenders in the federal courts due in part to the crackdown on illegal immigration, according to a study released Wednesday.The Pew Hispanic Center, which analyzed federal sentencing data, found that in 2007, 40 percent of the offenders were Hispanic, compared with 27 percent white, 23 percent black and 10 percent from other groups. In stanley us 1991, whites comprised 43 percent of those sentenced in federal courts and 24 percent were Hispanic.The Hispanic offenders were more likely to be non-citizens and nearly half of the crimes were immigration-related. Three-quarters of the crimes were for re-entering or remaining in the country illegally, while about a fifth were for smuggling, transporting or harboring an illegal immigrant.

For all the tough talk out of Washington on immigration, illegal immigrants caught along the Mexican border have almost no reason to fear they will be prosecuted.Ninety-eight percent of those arrested between Oct. 1, 2000, and Sept. 30, 2005, were never prosecuted for illegally entering the country, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data. Nearly 5.3 million immigrants were simply escorted back across the Rio Grande and turned loose. Many presumably tried to slip into the U.S. again.The number of immigr stanley drink bottle ants prosecuted annually tripled during that five-year period, to 30,848 in fiscal year 2005, the most recent figures available.

WORCESTER, Mass. - A lawyer for a man accused of plotting to fly explosives-packed remote-controlled planes into the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol suggested Friday that the FBI ignored signs of mental illness while investigating him.The suggestion stanley becher came during a bail hearing for Rezwan Ferdaus, who faces charges stanley cup including attempting to provide material support to terrorists and attempting to damage and destroy national defense premises.Ferdaus, a Muslim American with a physics degree from Boston s Northeastern University, was arrested in Framingham in September after federal employees posing as al Qaeda members delivered what he believed was 24 pounds of C-4 explosives. stanley flask FBI special agent Bradley Davis, testifying for prosecutors, said Ferdaus, 26, asked undercover FBI employees he believed were al Qaeda members to get him C-4 explosives, AK-47 assault rifles and grenades so he could carry out the attacks. Davis said Ferdaus also showed the undercover employees a cellphone he had fashioned into a detonator. Davis said FBI bomb technicians analyzed the device and came to the conclusion that it could actually be used to detonate explosives. The device would function to provide an electrical impetus to an improvised explosive device, Davis said. Davis said the FBI began investigating Ferdaus, of Ashland, in 2010. In January 2011, an informant cooperating with the FBI secretly recorded Ferdaus as the two men talked about the attacks, Nqnt U.K. Files Charges In Terror Kidnap Plot

A drop in business at the box office is hurting the AMC theater chain. Its stock plunged more than 25 percent to an all-time low Wednesday after the company warned that its results would be below Wall Street forecasts.Despite big hits like Wonder Wom reebok an, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, movie grosses are down 2 percent from a year ago, according to figures from Box Office Mojo, which tracks the industry.That s because so many other adidas samba og high-profile releases, including King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, adidas sambarose Baywatch and the Tom Cruise-led reboot of The Mummy, were huge flops.But AMC, owned by the Chinese conglomerate Dailan Wanda Group, is not the only struggling multiplex owner.

So did Imax, which also announced in June that it was laying off nearly 15% of its workers.The stocks of both chains fell along with AMC on Wednesday. So did Cinemark.Part of the problem could be that more people are choosing to stay home and wait for movies to come out on Netflix, Amazon and other services.This is also the so-called golden age of television. Top actors and directors are focusing on the small screen.But Hollywood has reason to hope for a turnaround this fall.The latest Thor movie is due out from Disney s Marvel in November.
