OCCUPY LIBERTY PLAZA
Michigan movie watchers
Some University stu-
dents spend Monday
night finishing their
homework or surfing
Facebook, vbut others
are busy expanding their
cinematic knowledge.
FLU, a University film
club started last year,
meets in Mason Hall on
Mondays to watch for-
eign films, to indie mov-
ies and blockbuster hits.
LSA sophomore Alex-
ander Kang, president of
FLU, chooses most of the
films and acknowledg-
es that his preferences
shape the viewing list.
Since his favorite direc-
CRIME NOTES
tor is Lars Von Trier, he
tries to incorporate Von
Trier's films into the
club's viewing list.
"If there is a new Lars
Von Trier film, of course
we'll watch it," Kang
said.
But Kang said he is
also open to members'
movie suggestions.
Kang said an impor-
tant part of his role as
FLU president is intro-
ducing club members to
films they haven't seen
before, no matter who
picks the selections.
Most recently, the
club watched "2046,"
a Hong Kong romance
film directed by Kar Wai
Wong. Kang said the film
is "incredibly powerful,"
and it evokes emotion,
which he finds a crucial
aspect of cinema.
Kang added that
watching films should be
more than just a pastime.
"I watch films for the
feeling of it," he said. "If
you get a nostalgic feel-
ing, it's yours. I don't care
how the film impacts
society. I care about the
feeling."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton listens as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
speaks about the department's enforcement of immigration laws, Wednesday, Oct. 5,2011, at American University in
Washington.
Immigration agency deports
record number of immigrants
0
Almost 400,000
individuals
deported by U.S. in
past fiscal year
MIAMI (AP) - U.S. Immi-
gration and Customs Enforce-
ment Director John Morton said
yesterday his agency deported
nearly 400,000 individuals dur-
ing the fiscal year that ended in
September, the largest number of
removals in the agency's history.
Morton announced the Fiscal
2011 numbers in Washington,
saying about 55 percent of those
deported had felony or misde-
meanor convictions. Officials
said the number of those convict-
ed of crimes was up 89 percent
from 2008.
Authorities could not imme-
diately say how many of those
crimes related to re-entering the
U.S. after being deported. Indi-
viduals can be convicted of a
felony for returningto the U.S. or
being found in the U.S. after they
were deported.
Among the 396,906 individuals
deported were more than 1,000
convicted of homicide. Another
5,800 were sexual offenders,
and about 80,000 people were
convicted of drug related crimes
or driving under the influence.
Last year, the total was roughly
393,000.
"This comes down to focusing
our resources as best we can on
our priorities," Morton said. "We
continue to hope for compre-
hensive immigration reform at a
national level, working with the
Congress, but in the meantime,
we work with the resources we
have, under the laws we have."
The announcement comes as
the Obama administration has
sought to address critics on both
sides of the immigration debate.
Immigration advocates complain
law enforcement officials are
spending too much of their scarce
resources rounding up families
living illegally in the country
who otherwise are law-abiding.
Others say the administration
isn't doing enough to stop the
flow of illegal immigration and
protect Americans from poten-
tial foreign terrorists and other
criminals.
Department of Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napoli-
tano has said the agency is focus-
ing its resources on criminals,
recent border crossers, those
who repeatedly cross the border
and those people the department
considers fugitives.
Authorities say two-thirds of
those deported last year either
recently crossed the border or
had done so repeatedly.
But House Judiciary Chair- 6
man U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith,
R-Texas, an outspoken opponent
of Obama administration's immi-
gration policies, called the ICE
numbers inflated. He argued they
include people who voluntarily
agree to leave the country with
no penalties and can easily return
to the U.S. - especially along the
border.
In a statement, Smith added
that under the Obama adminis-
tration, worksite enforcement
has dropped 70 percent.
"We could free up millions of
jobs for citizens and legal immi-
grants if we simply enforced our
immigration laws," he added.
In 2009, the administration
shifted from high-profile work-
place sweeps to less attention-
grabbing auditing of I-9 forms
- the documents used to verify
that employees are legally eli-
gible to work in the U.S. The
department says the shift better
focuses resources on the employ-
ers who draw in illegaliworkers to
the country.
