Excerpt:
A federal grand jury has indicted two workers at an Immigration and Naturalization Service office on charges they destroyed tens of thousands of documents to eliminate a backlog of paperwork.
The shredded documents _ as many as 90,000 _ included applications for asylum, citizenship, visas and work permits, and supporting documents such as U.S. and foreign passports and birth and marriage certificates, according to the indictment.
Dawn Randall, 24, and Leonel Salazar, 34, were each charged with one count of conspiracy and five counts of willfully destroying the documents, which had been sent to the INS' California Service Center in Laguna Niguel.
The data processing center handles paperwork received from people in Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii and Guam.
