On Monday, a federal judge sentenced Mexican actress Fernanda Romero and husband Kent Ross to 15 weekends in jail upon admitting they committed immigration marriage fraud so that the actress could legally enter the United States.
According to an affidavit filed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Mexican actress Fernanda Romero has appeared in films, including the 2008 supernatural thriller “The Eye,” as well as in print and television advertising and paid $5,000 to husband Kent Ross, a musician and former pizza delivery driver to "tie the knot," so that she could legally reside in the United States and work.
Authorities familiar with the matter said that both Romero and Ross filed several documents containing claims that they lived at the same address and other false statements. According to the case prosecutors, Romero also filed documents making false statements as to how long she had resided in the United States.

As a result of the nuclear disasters at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors in Japan after a powerful 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, California state and U.S. federal officials have called for a thorough review of California’s two commercial nuclear power plants. In response to the request, Southern California Edison began a three-day drill at the San Onofre nuclear power plant testing the ability of local, state and U.S. federal agencies to respond to a radiological emergency on Tuesday, an exercise that is required every two years at every commercial nuclear plant across the United States but has garnered more attention due to the recent events.
