Immigration Crackdown: Federal Judge Upholds Immigrant's Right to Remain Silent on Status

Yes, all people have rights! When hysteria and government action over-reaches, thank the Constitution and the courts.

Federal Judge Upholds Immigrant's Right to Remain Silent on Status - Fox News Latino: "The immigration agents went to a Kansas apartment looking for a man who had a drug conviction and whom they wanted to deport.

But the agents, without a warrant, also detained another man in the apartment they happened to come across and suspected of being in the country illegally.

On Tuesday, however, a federal judge said that the agent’s actions were unconstitutional and dismissed charges against José Manuel Ortiz-Del Rio. The judge’s ruling upheld the right of immigrants to remain silent under questioning from immigration authorities."
