Federal prosecutors have charged a Washington state man, Charles Alan Wilson, with repeatedly making threatening calls to Sen. Patty Murray’s Seattle office, threatening to kill her because of her support for the health care bill.

FBI agents say they arrested Wilson after getting telephone records and calling him to confirm that his voice matched the one left on voicemail in Sen. Murray’s office.

The investigation began in late March, after the health care bill was passed, when a staff member notified the FBI that a man who’d been calling the Seattle office for months, leaving messages after hours, had begun making overt threats to kill her.

In one message, according to court documents, he said, "I hope you realize, there’s a target on your back now. There are many people out there who want you dead. … Kill the —-ing senator. I’ll donate the lead." In another, he describes himself as "a senior citizen on Social Security and Medicare" and says, "I want to thank you so much, very, very much, for signing my death warrant."

FBI agents checked the office phone records against the times the voicemails were received, leading to Wilson’s number in Selah, Washington. As an additional check, an agent posing as a volunteer from a fictitious group opposed to the bill, Patients United Now, called Wilson on April 1 and talked to him for 14 minutes. He said he "hated" the new law and that he had repeatedly called Sen. Murray’s office to complain, referring to her with a phrase, "sneaker shoes Murray," also often used on the voicemails.

The FBI also determined that Wilson, 64, has a handgun registered to him and a valid concealed weapons permit.

He has been charged with threatening a federal official, a felony carrying a maximum penalty of ten years in prison.

In a statement Tuesday, Murray said that her office first notified the Capitol Police Department about the calls and was then instructed to alert local FBI authorities. "As this is an ongoing FBI investigation, Senator Murray or her office will not make any additional comments," the statement said.

Several lawmakers have reported receiving threatening telephone calls in the wake of the legislation’s passage. At least four offices of Democratic lawmakers were vandalized, and some officials were granted access to increased security as a result of the threats.

Both Republicans and Democrats have been the targets of violent threats. A man who had used a Web video to announce his intention to kill Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., was arrested on March 29. Cantor, a top House Republican leader, opposed the health care bill.

Three men have pleaded guilty to holding seven illegal immigrants in a Las Vegas motel room against their will.

The seven people were being held for ransom, U.S. District Attorney for Nevada Greg Brower said in a statement.

Court records show that in April, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents received information that people who had crossed the border illegally from Mexico were being held in Las Vegas. The captors had contacted the victims’ family members and said they needed to pay $2,800 for each victim’s release, the district attorney said.

After an investigation, law enforcement agents and ICE officials determined through telephone records the victims were being held in a room at the Aruba Motel, 1215 Las Vegas Blvd. South.

On April 23, officers entered the motel room where the group was staying. They found 12 people, five of whom were the captors, Brower said. All 12 were taken into custody, and agents determined that 11 of them were illegal immigrants, seven of whom were smuggled into the United States for a fee, the district attorney said.

Felipe de Jesus Flores-Villela, 33, entered a guilty plea Wednesday and Victor Manual Morales-Velazquez, 22, and Angel Rigoberto Uribe-Ibarra, 48, entered guilty pleas Thursday. The men each pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens for private financial gain. A fourth man charged in the case, Orlando Jimenez, 21, is scheduled to enter a guilty plea to the same charge on Tuesday and a fifth man, Gerardo Perez-Villegas, 21, is awaiting trial.

All of the defendants, except Jimenez, who is a U.S. citizen, are Mexican nationals who entered the United States unlawfully, the district attorney said.

The men required the victims to contact family members, or to provide contact information for family members so they could contact them for ransom, investigators said. The men subjected the victims to physical assault and intimidation, displayed firearms and other weapons to intimidate the victims and made threats of death and physical violence to coerce them to persuade family members to pay the ransoms, the district attorney said.

Investigators found three pellet firing replica pistols and an automatic-opening bladed knife in the motel room, authorities said. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 6.

These are the people in "good standing" who want amnesty.
It’s only Americans who take advantage of these "poor, hard working" people.

Someone already said it, but it bears repeating—Anything for a buck.
