ACLU: Police Enforcing Immigration Laws 'Terrorize' America- State and local police who help enforce federal immigration laws are targeting Latinos and "terrorizing" people across the United States, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said at a briefing on Capitol Hill on Monday.
"Local law enforcement has been given the green light to engage in racial profiling," Joanne Lin, a legislative counsel with the ACLU, said at the briefing held by the Appleseed Foundation, a non-profit network of 16 public interest justice centers in the United States and Mexico.
Reasonable people can disagree on how to best deal with illegal immigration, amnesty and similar issues. Enforcing the law as written in no way makes one a terrorist, any more than urging reform does.
Typical over the top rhetoric from the ACLU.
