Once again the ACLU aim fire at law enforcement to defend imaginary rights of illegal immigrants furthering the decay of our national soverignty.
Steven Brown, director of the Rhode Island affiliate, yesterday noted the unusual nature of the lawsuit filed by ACLU volunteer attorney V. Edward Formisano ... "The citizenship status of the plaintiffs is really irrelevant to this lawsuit. These were individuals who were in a van that was stopped for a minor traffic violation. The question is whether police have a right to detain individuals for no other reason than the way they look ..."Said Brown, “The law generally prohibits racial profiling on the highways. It prohibits stopping or searching vehicles based on the person’s race or ethnicity, all of which we think were present in this case. It also specifically bars police officers from detaining individuals in cars longer than necessary to address the initial traffic violation. From our perspective, that restriction was clearly violated in this case.”
So, to the ACLU, the fact that those detained were actually law breaking illegal immigrants is 'irrelevant'? Then why should any law be relevant? Instead they prefer to focus on what they 'think' might have happened.

I only wish someone would arrest the ACLU and its' membership!
Last time I checked the "A" in ACLU stood for "American" - so where do they get off going to bat for illegals?!
Ping to SS...
Ping!
scrappleface couldn't do better with this article.
Yeah, but the C stands for Communist.
Ain't it the truth??!!
Pretty soon, everyone will act the wounded bird and the 'what about me?' cries will be heard around the country. Heaven forbid someone should actually do something to help himself! <:-O
What isn't mentioned is the taxpayer money they pocket from these suits, even if they eventually lose. I also love how they are not suing over "what" happened, they are suing over what "might" happen. The ACLU and its supporters are anti-American.
No, the question is do they have a legal right to be (geographically) where they can be detained, whatever they look like.
ping
I asked you to remove me from your ping list. Why are you still pinging me to this stuff?
I thought the "A" was for anti, as in, Anti Christian Lawyers Union.
I apologize. I had one list at home and one at work. I removed you from one but neglected to do so on the other one. You are now removed from both.
Come to think of it, that's certainly a better description of the group! ;P
I think, in all seriousness, the law licenses of those ACLU lawyers should be examined.
Seriously, the ACLU's lawyers are not for america, they are explicitly against america.
They should not have law licenses and should not be permitted to practice law.
ACLU: Anti-Conservative Lie Upholders
Illegals have no "Liberties" in "America".
No? Then howcum a pregnant woman gets emergency medicaid certification.
Yeah. Having a baby is termed 'emergency.'
that makes my stomache sick.
Don't forget the new baby medicaid. The new anchor baby. The new AMERICAN baby.
!#%^!&%!$&*!*&!!
