According to the affidavit unsealed today, Henderson had employed a Brazilian woman to clean her home for $75 to $80 every few weeks for several years. Henderson's fellow officers at US Customs and Border Protection told her in 2005 and 2006 that it was against the law to hire illegal immigrants and urged her to find another housekeeper. Henderson also gave advice to the housekeeper as to how to evade deportation.

The Massachusetts State Police has announced that it will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint otherwise known as a roadblock on Friday December 5, 2008 in the county of Norfolk. The purpose of a roadblock is to stop all the drivers and arrest those who have drank too much. Roadblocks are controversial and extremely impartial. If you are stopped in a roadblock it is your right not to perform any tests. This is not limited to the breath test. You may refuse to perform all field tests.
