Racial Profiling

After the massive immigration raid at the Worthington, MN Swift & Co. plant in December 2006, several Latino workers with work authorization filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security alleging violations of their Constitutional rights, such as racial profiling and unlawful detention.

The U.S. Federal government has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Arguments for and against the motion will be heard on Friday, February 13th. The plaintiffs are represented by local nonprofit law office Centro Legal and local law firm Gray Plant Mooty.
