Lawsuit Challenges Legality of Immigration Raids

HeadlineApr 04, 2008

And in New Jersey, a new lawsuit says federal immigration agents have illegally entered homes and made arrests in raids on undocumented immigrants. Attorneys at Seton Hall’s Center for Social Justice have filed the suit on behalf of ten plaintiffs.

The case will test the legality of a series of tactics used by immigration officials in nationwide raids since May 2006.
