On this edition of Hawaii's Most Wanted we feature a man who's wanted on a warrant for not showing up for his trial in a theft case.

Honolulu police are looking for Jay Alcantara.

"On July 28, 2009, at about 12:55 a.m., the complainant was at her residence on Loaa Street when she heard her vehicle start up. She checked outside and saw her Honda being driven away by an unknown person," said Sgt. Kim Buffett with CrimeStoppers.

Two months later, police caught Alcantara getting into the stolen Honda in Kaneohe, stopped him and arrested him for unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle.

He was also arrested for theft because police found a purse that had just been reported stolen inside the car.

Jay Alcantara is now wanted on a $50,000 warrant for not showing up for his trial this week.

He's 33 years old, 5'7" tall and 180 pounds.

If you have any information on his whereabouts, call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300.

And Justinna Mattos, whom we featured back in January, was arrested Saturday in Pearl City.

She was wanted on a $50,000 warrant for not showing up to court in an auto theft case.

Mike G. H. Chun Email: chunmike@hotmail.com July 28, 2010 Congressman Charles Djou U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 iCharles, Citation: “[Federal district court] Judge [Susan Bolton/Arizona] blocks key parts of immigration law in Arizona”, by: Randal Archibold, New York Times newspaper (New York, New York), Online, National News, 7/28/2010 URL: http://www.nytimes.com/ I read with great interest as a partial federal preliminary injunction has halted key controversial provisions of the Arizona immigration law. The Obama administration challenged the April 2010 state law which was scheduled to go into effect tomorrow. The U.S. Justice Dept. argued that the Arizona state law would encroach state & local government jurisdiction into a federal realm of law enforcement. Many citizens have criticized lack of federal law enforcement as smugglers have easily penetrated the lengthy, porous, contiguous USA-Mexico border. (Source: CNN-TV, Oceanic channel 14, 7/28/2010) iCharles, public opinion appears mixed on the topic of illegal immigration along our southern border with Mexico. There are some interest groups which call for a ‘legal path to citizenship’ for immigrants, others have argued that it is a matter of human rights that Spanish speaking, illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in America, business interests which prefer the inexpensive labor supply pool for jobs which ordinary native born Americans choose not to do, and American nativist movement which see the rising tide of Latinos as a future political threat in terms of electorate dominance in the USA political process. Clearly, the rupturing of border security along the USA-Mexico southern continental USA border has been a matter of public concern for some time. iCharles, please review the Arizona immigration law controversy, and consider the concerns of ordinary Americans from the First Congressional District/Hawaii [& the nation as a whole] in your U.S. Congress
