Woman sentenced to 10 years for license fraud

Ana Hernandez

A woman who claims to be a political pawn in the immigration debate has been sentenced to 10 years for forging affidavits that authorities say allowed 44 undocumented immigrants to get New Mexico driver's licenses. 
Ana Hernandez was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to 10 of 324 charges in an indictment that named her and 42 others last year. The 46-year-old is accused of signing affidavits that falsely said the applicants lived at her business address. 
Hernandez's attorney, Scott Mullins, says his client was singled out for overzealous prosecution "and the dangerous inference of immigration politics in the administration of justice."
