[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] A U.S. immigration officer was sentenced on October 3, 2014 to two and a half years in federal prison, for accepting bribes in the form of cash and egg rolls from applicants seeking citizenship and green cards.
Mai Nhu Nguyen, 48, served with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in Santa Ana for eight years. She pleaded guilty to receiving bribes as a public official between July 2011 and May 2013. As an immigration service officer, Nguyen had the authority to approve or deny immigration applications.
In one of the instances of bribery, Nguyen called a vendor to order 300 egg rolls. She then told an immigration applicant to pay for the $150 food order and deliver it to her workplace. Once the task was performed, Nguyen proceeded to approve the immigrant's paperwork.

A Nepalese communist community organizer was killed in a wild elephant attack in the Bara district of south-eastern Nepal on Sunday, eKantipur reports.
Ganga Bal, 35, was a local leader in the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), not to be confused with the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) or the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist). She was a member of the CPN-Maoist State Committee of Bhojpura.
Bal was out on a morning walk in the little village of Amalekhgunj when the attack occurred. Her body was discovered behind the local office of the Nepal Oil Corporation.
Bara has been the site of four elephant-attack deaths in the past one-and-a-half months.

"A moment's relief, Comrade Pachyderm!
Your stomping is making me taciturn;
If you'd just let me stand,
Get my nuts out the sand --
I'll incite like a natural subaltern."
