U.S. to Deport Victoria Sellers 
By Jeremiah Marquez 
The Associated Press, October 2, 2006 

Los Angeles (AP) -- Victoria Sellers, daughter of the late actor Peter Sellers, was arrested Monday in Hollywood on immigration violations and will be deported to Britain, federal authorities said. 

Sellers was being held in an Orange County detention center after immigration agents arrested her at an apartment, according to Jim Hayes, a field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She was taken into custody without incident. 

'She was very calm,' Hayes said. 'She gave no resistance.' 

He said she would be removed to Britain as soon as possible, but declined to say when. 

Sellers, 41, was a U.S. permanent resident until April 2002, when an immigration judge ordered her removed from the country for a past criminal conviction, and had been living in the country illegally ever since with a warrant for her arrest, Hayes said. 

Attempts to reach Sellers were unsuccessful. There were no listings for her and it was unclear whether she had retained an attorney.

Audioslave Guitarist Arrested at Protest 
The Associated Press, October 2, 2006 

Los Angeles (AP) -- Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello was arrested during a protest for hotel worker rights last week in Los Angeles. 

According to Morello's social activism Web site Axis of Justice, he was one of about 400 protesters arrested during a march last Thursday to raise awareness for immigrant hotel workers' rights. 

He was charged with unlawful assembly for refusing to move from the main entry road into Los Angeles International Airport. 

Morello, 42, spent the evening in lockup and was released Friday morning. ''Bail was high,'' he said each arrestee had to pay $5,000. But, he added, ''spirits were higher. We had a rousing civil rights-era-like hootenanny on 'the inside.' '' 

In 2005, Audioslave played a free show in Cuba. It was the first American rock group to perform in that country in 26 years. 

Morello's former band, politicos Rage Against the Machine, always discussed doing that concert, he said.

Immigration judge suspended 
Allegedly asked out claimant 
Woman sent video to appeal board 
The Toronto Star (Canada), October 3, 2006 
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename==thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c==Article&cid=59825812902&call_pageid=–8332188774&col=–8350116467 

An Immigration and Refugee Appeal Board judge has been suspended while the RCMP investigates an accusation he offered to approve a South Korean woman's refugee application if she had an affair with him, CTV News reported yesterday. 

CTV broadcast a video, shot by the woman's boyfriend, that shows the judge identified as Steve Ellis meeting with the woman outside his chambers. 

On the video, Ellis tells the woman he planned to deport her but had second thoughts, CTV said in a story on its website. The initial one was no but now that I know you, I'm not going to be able to sleep if I say no. I won't be able to sleep,' CTV quotes Ellis as saying in the video shot about a week ago. 

Ellis, a former Toronto city councillor, sought the woman out on two separate occasions after first hearing her case in July, said CTV. 

'I had no choice. When he asked me for the coffee, I had to meet him,' said the woman, identified only as Kim. 

CTV alleged Ellis proposed an affair with the woman although he was not heard to do so in the portion of the tape that was aired yesterday. However, he is heard to warn Kim not to tell her boyfriend. Kim sent the video to the chairman of the Immigration Appeal Board last week. He suspended Ellis and notified the RCMP, said CTV. 

Ellis, appointed to the board in 2000, would not comment yesterday. 'I don't have anything to say right now. Thank you.'
