How come supporters say these illegals are not criminals is this racial profiling or enforcing the law?
Question by Smells like New ILLEGAL MEXICANS: How come supporters say these illegals are not criminals is this racial profiling or enforcing the law?
“Most of the advocacy around this program is that local authorities aren’t using the authority they’re given correctly, that there’s racial profiling, for example,” she said.
The three named plaintiffs in the lawsuit “each represent a different kind of abuse” of the program, Meder said.
One, a Mexican citizen who came to the U.S. legally in 2004 but overstayed her authorization, was arrested after a car crash for not having a driver’s license and is being deported.
The second, an illegal immigrant arrested on a shoplifting charge that she is fighting, is in deportation proceedings. But the lawsuit argues she should be able to stay until her criminal case is decided.
The third is an El Salvadoran immigrant who has legal authorization to work in the U.S. but was arrested in July on felony forgery charges. Authorities say he used a false immigration document to renew his driver’s license, a charge he denies.
