WELD COUNTY, CO - Arrests continue this weekend in a Weld County tax probe that could affect thousands of immigrants. Officials say some 1,300 warrants could be issued over the coming months as they investigate phony tax returns filed through a A Greeley tax preparer who serves Latinos says at least 15 people have already been arrested. Authorities say some illegal immigrants were using phony Social Security numbers to receive improper tax refunds from the federal government. Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck says investigators have traced some $2.6 million in payments. But immigrant advocates in the area say the probe is a backhanded attempt to deport immigrants before the Supreme Court can rule on an identity theft question that could affect the Weld County cases. They say more than a thousand families could be broken up before the legal questions are ironed out.http://www.krdo.com/Global/story.asp?S=9358657... Read More »
