Normally, I’d have to say “good for him” suing the government for taking the money for no apparent reason... But since the ACLU is involved, I know the money must be dirty. The ACLU only gets involved when the person whose rights were supposedly violated is a criminal.

I think you are wrong here. The DEA has a history of stealing money from people and they know it will cost probably $100K to get this $23K back. That is why they steal it, they know it will cost the person too much to get their money back. The ACLU probably stepped in because they know this guy could not afford to get his own money back.

I know the ACLU is evil, but DEA makes them look like saints.

  There is probably a lot more to the story.
