Ga. state senator's
wile treed
ATLANTA! AP)-AGeorgia
state senator’s Colombia
born wife who faced depor
tation was released Tuesday
after meeting with an immi
gration judge who lifted the
deportation order.
Sascha Herrera, 28, who
had gone into hiding after
the order was issued, turned
herself in Tuesday morning
and met with an immigra
tion judge and attorneys
for the Immigration and
Customs Enforcement field
office.
Herrera and her husband,
state Sen. Curt Thompson,
D-Norcross, emerged from
the federal building hand
in-hand shortly before 9:30
a.m.
“I’m fine. I’m relieved,”
Herrera said. “When I first
came here I was very scared.
I’m glad the government
agreed to reopen my case.”
Government lawyer Terry
Bird said the judge lifted the
order and agreed to reopen
her case. Bird said a hear
ing - which has yet to be
scheduled - will be held on
a petition filed by Herrera’s
husband to establish perma
nent residency for Herrera.
Bird said she would likely be
freed Tuesday, pending the
new hearing.
Herrera’s lawyer, Charles
Kuck, said although the
deportation order has been
lifted, Herrera is still techni
cally in deportation proceed
ings.
He said he expects the
hearing will be held in the
next two to four months on
her green card for perma
nent residency.
Bird said the judge’s
review of Herrera’s residen
cy status could put her on
track for a chance to become
a U.S. citizen.

than 1,000 firefighters from
as far as New York City paid
final respects Monday to a
colleague from Atlanta who
was fatally injured battling a
house fire on Thanksgiving
Day.
Steven Solomon, who
joined the Atlanta Fire
Department four months
ago after six years with the
Macon-Bibb County Fire
Department, died last week
of burn injuries.
“It’s not the length of a
person’s life but the depth
of what he did that matters,
and I think the number of
folks in this auditorium (is)
a true testament,” Atlanta
Fire Chief Dennis Rubin
said during the two-hour
service held at the Macon
Coliseum.
The widow of the 33-year
old firefighter, Kennetha
Solomon, said he was her
best friend and a wonder
ful husband who cooked,
cleaned, changed diapers
and would even massage her
feet after she got home from
work.
Council votes down
pension Increase
ATLANTA (AP) - Citing
the fatal shooting of an elder
ly woman during a drug raid,
the city council voted 8-7
against giving Atlanta Police
Chief Richard Pennington a
SIO,OOO annual increase for
his pension plan.
The raise had been pro
posed before the Nov. 21
fatal shooting of Kathryn
Johnston. But council

Pennington’s compensation

“The slap in the face is
how a 92-year-old grand
mother, mother, and com
munity leader could be shot
in the midst of her home
and we decide to give a raise
in the midst of all this,”
Atlanta Councilman Lamar
Willis said Monday.
Willis said Pennington
already has one of the high
est pay packages in the coun
try, even though Atlanta’s
police force and population
is smaller than other cities.
Pennington currently makes
$189,000 a year.
