RSSImmigrants sue over arrests at Baltimore 7-Eleven
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | January 29, 2009
Outraged over Homeland Security raids arresting immigrants, CASA de Maryland has filed a lawsuit demanding the federal government turn over documents about the arrests. “We are living in contradictory times,” Gustavo Torres, executive director of CASA de Maryland, said in a statement. “On one hand, you have the first president of African descent in the world outside Africa, but on the other hand, you have the federal government engaging in racial profiling.” At issue are two police actions: a Jan. 23, 2007, immigration raid in the parking lot of a Baltimore 7-Eleven and a June 30 raid on the office of Annapolis Painting Services and 17 homes nearby.
