Alien Hunters Charged With Rounding Up Americans
"A civil rights group sued the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency Wednesday, claiming its agents had harassed five U.S. citizens of Mexican descent during raids targeting illegal immigrants in southeast Georgia. The Southern Poverty Law Center alleges that federal agents targeted the five because of their appearance, and it alleged the agents were engaging in a campaign to drive Latinos out of the area."
Here are links to the SPLC's press release, and the lawsuit itself.
"It's outrageous that this could occur in America today," said Morris Dees, Center founder and chief trial counsel. "These ICE agents swooped into town, armed with everything but search warrants, and started rounding up people -- citizens and non-citizens alike -- merely because they had brown skin. Imagine the fallout if this had happened to white people."
