US detective resigns over resident status
None
A detective for Arizona's state police force has resigned following the discovery that she was living in the country illegally, the agency said Wednesday.
The former detective, Carmen Figueroa, apparently was told by her family that she was born in the US, though she was actually born in Sinaloa, Mexico, said Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves. Figueroa's status was discovered when the State Department processed a passport application submitted by her brother, who is serving in the US military. (AP)
