ICE detains Wallace State soccer players after Lincoln traffic stop

HANCEVILLE, Ala. – Four days after Luis Orta-Santoro helped Wallace State Community College earn a spot in the national soccer tournament, Lincoln police arrested him and his twin brother, Carlos, during a traffic stop in Talladega County. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it took both players into custody the next day. Talladega County Sheriff’s Office records list the arrests of Luis Alejandro Orta-Santoro and Carlos Alberto Orta-Santoro, both 19, at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4. Each county booking lists one entry, “HOLD FOR ICE,” and a Nov. 5 release from the county jail. Neither booking lists a traffic charge. Their father, Carlos Enrique Orta Corredor, told WBRC the brothers were driving back to Wallace State after visiting their parents in Georgia. He said an officer stopped them in Lincoln for allegedly rolling through a stop sign, asked for their licenses and had both young men step out of the vehicle. They were handcuffed and spent the night in jail, he said. Lincoln police signed a task force agreement with ICE on July 20, according to 287(g) Watch, which tracks the agency’s published agreements. ICE says the program allows trained local officers to exercise limited immigration authority during routine police

Jacksonville State football starting to find its groove in CUSA play

JACKSONVILLE — As Jacksonville State football took a 17-point lead into the fourth quarter, it seemed that this team had finally started to separate itself from the pack this year. Then Caden Creel found the end zone to get the lead to 24 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. The defense came up with a safety, then Jamill Williams broke the game wide open with an 85-yard free kick return for a touchdown to open up a 33-point lead, all before the clock hit 12 minutes left in the game. The Gamecocks cruised the rest of the way towards a 47-14 win over Sam Houston on Saturday, Nov. 7, to get to 7-2, and 5-0 in CUSA play. After a season-and-a-half of pulling out close wins in Conference USA, the Gamecocks may have once again found the instinct that lifted them to the quick start at the FBS level. "When everybody does their job, we are unstoppable," Williams said postgame. "That's what everybody did today in all three phases. We went out there and got the job done, and look at the outcome." The stretch to start the fourth quarter is what great teams are able to do
