Migrants in Chicago allege abusive racial slurs and harassment from Home Depot and police, then admit they don’t really understand English

A group of five illegal migrant “day laborers” are suing Home Depot, the Chicago police, and the city of Chicago, alleging “ethnically motivated harassment” and assault, and they want “monetary damages.” Taxpayers, hide your wallets!

From an article out at The Chicago Tribune and shared via Yahoo News, we learn the specifics: When crime in the Chicago area skyrocketed even higher than normal, (un)coincidentally with the arrival of tens of thousands of foreign “newcomers,” Home Depot “stepped up its security” and decided to hire off-duty police officers to patrol the property, and make sure the company’s assets and customers were protected; not exactly known for respecting other people’s property, borders, and laws, the illegal alien plaintiffs were caught lurked in the parking lot looking for illegal, under-the-table day work, and eventually, were arrested and hit with criminal trespass charges—four of the men have had those charges dismissed already, with the fifth man’s hearing scheduled for next week.

Activist judge(s) or innocence? Gee I wonder.

Anyway, the plaintiffs allege verbal abuse and beatings, while their lawyers argued this:

‘This lawsuit reflects a disturbing history of CPD abuses that have coalesced into one scheme,’ said Jamitra Fulleord, an attorney for Raise the Floor Alliance.

(That “scheme” being the vindictive and specific targeting of “day laborers.”)

Now, a few dots aren’t connecting for me and it’s not exactly passing the sniff test, sounding a little too Jussie Smollet-esque for my liking.

First of all, the article reports that one of the illegals says the security guards verbally berated him, saying “this country was better without Venezuelans.” Then, we also read that three of the illegals “claim that they were told to sign documents in English that they could not read,” so I have to wonder how much English they actually do understand?

the national language of Venezuela is Spanish, for those who speak other dialects, Spanish is their second language.

Chicago is 30% hispanic/latino. Chicago PD demographics are at least 25% hispanic/latino. It is reasonable to assume, therefore, that at least some hispanic/latinos staff the intake desk.

It’s also reasonable to assume that any physical evidence of ‘beatings’ would be photographed along with photographs of tattoos, etc. prior to an arrestee being placed in a holding cell.

Given that, it seems unreasonable to claim intake personnel failed to recognize a non-english speaker, or that miranda rights and release-notice to appear and return of property papers (the two documents that would require signatures at a PD) were not read out and printed in Spanish as well as in English.

ergo, the men trespassing on Home Depot property are lying dogs
