Pablo Guaman, who is charged with allowing his unlicensed brother to drive his Ford F-150 pickup truck, was arrested last week after he violated a condition of release. His brother is charged in the death of Matthew Denice.
An Ecuadorian man who is charged with allowing his brother to drive his Ford F-150, an unlicensed driver who later that night is accused of striking and killing motorcyclist Matthew Denice, is back in state custody. Pablo Dutan Guaman, 38, was released on a charge of allowing unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, on the condition that he wear a GPS monitoring bracelet.

Lawmakers were surprised this week by Gov. Deval Patrick's statements that some illegal immigrants should pay in-state tuition at state universities and colleges.
Gov. Deval Patrick took state legislators by surprise when he told college and university officials that illegal immigrants who obtain a federal work permit should pay in-state tuition. In statements to the media on Monday, Patrick said that the policy is in line with what President Obama authorized last summer — that young illegal immigrants, who were brought here before age 16 with their parents, could obtain a federal work permit and remain in the U.S. without threat of deportation. He said that students who have obtained these federal work permits in the past have been allowed to pay in-state tuition, according to a report in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. But some legislators are concerned about the financial impact, including …

A hearing will be scheduled in Worcester Superior Court this month to determine whether Nicolas Dutan Guaman is competent to stand trial for the death of Matthew Denice.
A Worcester Superior Court judge will decide whether Nicolas Dutan Guaman is mentally competent to be tried for the death of Matthew Denice, a motorcyclist who police say was killed after the defendant struck, then dragged him, with a pickup truck. One medical expert hired by defense attorneys has found Guaman is not competent, and turned in a report describing that finding. Another medical expert, appointed by the court, did not find him incompetent. Judge James Lemire has ordered a competency hearing, in which experts will testify as to whether Guaman, a 35-year-old laborer, understands the case against him, and meets other criteria for competency. The hearing will be scheduled on Oct. 25. According to an order from Lemire, the legal …

Milford Selectmen signed an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement Monday, to participate in its IMAGE program. The town is the first in New England to do so.
With a few signatures, Milford Selectmen authorized an agreement Monday that will make the town a leader in working with immigration authorities to ensure its employees are eligible to work in the U.S. The town is the first in New England to approve an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement that will screen employees. The so-called IMAGE Program will send all I-9 forms submitted by town employees through the ICE databases. The partnership is largely symbolic, in that town officials say they do not expect to find that any town government or school employees are working here illegally. But it is intended to set an example for private businesses, who may provide the jobs that attract illegal immigrants to town. Many town residents…

Editor's Note: The following press release was issued jointly by state Sen. Richard T. Moore (D-Uxbridge) and state Rep. John Fernandes (D-Milford). Senator Richard T. Moore and Representative John V. Fernandes recently joined their colleagues in the House and Senate to successfully override the governor’s veto of vehicle registration reforms and stricter false identity fines. The House and Senate overrode the Governor’s veto by a vote of 134-19 in the House followed by a vote of 24-10 in the Senate. The existing law allows so-called “x-registrations” wherein an unlicensed operator or person in the state illegally is able to purchase and register a car without any proof of residency. This loophole has allowed untrained and unlicensed …

Milford legislators joined with their colleagues in rejecting Gov. Deval Patrick's move to remove a requirement for a driver's license or legal ID to obtain a vehicle registration. Reform of so-called 'X Registrations' is now back before Patrick.
Milford legislators joined with their colleagues in the state House and Senate in rejecting a proposal this week that would remove a requirement for people to show a valid driver's license or proof of legal residence to register a car. Under existing practice, people who do not have driver's licenses can register a vehicle in Massachusetts under the 'X Registration' option, which allows them to register a vehicle by providing their name, birth date, proof of insurance and residence. The proof of residence could include showing a current utility bill. Legislators — including state Sen. Richard Moore (D-Uxbridge) and state Rep. John Fernandes (D-Milford) — voted to change that this year, instead requiring proof of legal residence. The …

President Obama announced Friday a stay on deportations for younger illegal immigrants, brought here as children, who do not pose a threat to public safety. A good idea? Tell us what you think.
The Obama Administration will no longer deport young illegal immigrants who pose no threat to public safety, according to a position revealed Friday. The administration also will begin granting work permits for some Dream Act-eligible students. Some 800,000 people are expected to be eligible, as first reported by the Associated Press on Friday morning. The policy change, effective immediately, will apply to young undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as children. It would follow the same lines as the Dream Act, a decade-old bill that passed in the U.S. House but failed in the Senate in 2010. According to the Associate Press report: "Illegal immigrants will be immune from deportation if they were brought to the United States before …
