Because of immigration regulations (agency policies on how to enforce the law) - medical tests, background checks, quarantine, etc. Nowadays they call it vetting and detention during that period is Constitutional, as long as the detainee is treated in a Constitutional manner (no Govt. beatings, no Govt.torture, etc.)

As far as the MV illegals, offhand I cannot see where their 14th Amendment rights were violated by anyone. Possibility it could be because they stuck waivers and releases written only in English in front of the people who only read Spanish or whatever foriegn language . That would negate informed consent.

Florida asked if anybody wants to go to MA.

They said yes and they went. I am sure documents were signed.

What else you got? Oh! it was MV vs Pittsfield?
