One Alabama Construction activists and American citizens who say that they were detained twice by immigration agents within a few weeks have filed a case in the federal court. Tusrap The administration workplace targeted industries with a large immigrant workforce.
Class-action lawsuit, on Tuesday, was filed by Concrete activist Leo Garcia Vengas with Justice for Justice, which the firm calls “unconstitutional and illegal immigration enforcement strategy”.
Vengas, who was born in the US, lives in Baldwin County, Alabama and works, a Gulf Coast area among the cities mobile And Pensacla, Florida, which has seen immense population growth in the last 15 years, and which provides lots of construction work.
The lawsuit comes a few weeks later Supreme Court Picked up a judge’s preventive order, which prevented the immigration agents in Los Angeles from stopping only people based on their race, language, job or location.
The court has allowed the Trump administration to rigorous immigration policies a few times, while it is also left open that cases may change as a legal result.
Despite the agents not having any warrants in the new lawsuit, the raids at the workplaces have been described again and again, nor suspects that the specific workers were illegally in the US, and with a string-string-latin-shiln names of American citizens-they were detained.
Department of Homeland Security “These armed impressions authorize on the basis of general perception that some people in the industry, including Latinos, are possibly illegal immigrants,” the suit is argued.
In the May raid to flow to Venegas, a video shot by a colleague suggests that he was being taken to the ground by immigration agents as he repeatedly stressed that he was an American citizen. The trial said that the agents targeted the workers at the building site, who looked Latin, while other workers left alone. According to the law firm, Wanegas was released after more than an hour.
Vengas was again detained at another construction site after less than a month.
Leo said in a statement issued by the law firm, “It seems that whenever he can do anything to stop arresting the immigration agents,” Leo said in a statement issued by the law firm. “I just want to work peacefully. The Constitution protects my ability to do so.”
Vengas, who specializes in laying a solid foundation, says he was detained both times despite showing the license of the real ID driver issued by Alabama-a high-protection identity card is available for American citizens and legal inhabitants.
The immigration agents told him that the ID card was fake, eventually before leaving him. He was released after about 20–30 minutes.
“Immigration Officer is not above the law” for the Institute for Justice Attorney Jaba Tsatsushwili. “Leo is a hardworking American citizen who stands for everyone’s right to work, which is detained only in the way they see or do the job they work.”
DHS did not immediately respond to the remarks request.
