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."
