First, what legal standing do the illegals have to bring a suit against the rancher?
Second, if they do have legal standing against the property owner, why does the property owner not have legal standing such that the illegals are not in court on trespassing, theft, vandalism, and other charges?
Also, if the illegals are illegally dumping trash all over the place, why are they not on charges for that?
He needs to put up a sign saying ‘beware of pitbulls who protect my property’
Probably unlawful imprisonment. AZ law allows for citizens arrest if you observe a felony happening, or in rare misdemeanor situations such as riot. Unfortunately, illegal entry into the US is not in and of itself a felony, and neither is simple trespass. So they are probably suing him for false arrest. That is why the Minutemen don't apprehend illegals, they just observe them and report them to the BP.
Not saying I agree with the law here, just giving my understanding of such. A man should be able to detain persons trespassing on his ranch until the authorities arrive.
also, if they are illegal, why arent they in jail or deported and not allowed back here...
If it were me, as soon as my attorney had their names I would counter sue for trespassing, property damages, and stealing.
