A year ago, The Oregonian newspaper in Portland, Ore., ran a six-part series evisceraing the Immigration Service. The series, which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in April, condemned the agency for its "iron-fisted" approach to immigration enforcement.

Immigrants caught lying to INS agents were deported and barred from re-entering the country for 10 years.
