Illegals are now sueing our governments. BUILD THE FENCE Hispanic immigrants sue U.S. city after crackdown By Av Harris
ADVERTISEMENT It is the latest legal challenge to crackdowns on illegal immigrants, as localities nationwide grapple with how to handle their status. The lawsuit claims undercover police in Danbury, Connecticut, lured the workers into a van by posing as contractors looking for day laborers. "He offered us work and we took it," plaintiff Juan Barrera told a news conference, referring to an undercover police officer. "We didn't know why, but they immediately arrested us and put us in handcuffs. We didn't know what was going on. "They treated me like a violent criminal and all I was trying to do was find work," Barrera added. After their 2006 arrest in a sting set up by local and federal authorities, the men were handed over to federal agents, held without charge for days or weeks, then transported to detention centers before being released on bond, court documents said. The plaintiffs, represented by Yale University law students, claim the U.S. Constitution protects the civil rights of all people in the United States. The attorneys would not discuss their clients' immigration status or their countries of origin. Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton vowed to defend the city. Boughton, a Republican, is a well-known crusader against illegal immigration. Two years ago, he wanted Connecticut State Police find illegal workers and turn them over to the U.S. immigration agency for deportation. Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell rejected the request. |
