Illegal Raids

Filed under:Ethics — posted by Tom on September 23, 2007 @ 6:11 pm

US immigration authorities are conducting raids without warrants, kicking in the doors of homes where hispanics live and hoping someone is living in America illegally. This is happening in NYC mostly.

15 people have filed a class action lawsuit in response claiming their rights are being violated, specifically the fourth amendment.

In once incident, the feds bust into a home scaring the women and children, looking for illegals, and everyone was a citizen. Now try to convince those young kids that the men kicking in the door at 3 am with guns are the good guys. Yeah i somehow don’t think alot of illegals are hiding in East Hampton.

The suit seeks punitive damages and an injunction to prevent further raids until they get a genuine system to prevent further rights violations.
