FEDERAL Agents’ SHOCKING Arrests Spark Immigration Law Outrage
— In Liberty, Missouri, armed Department of Homeland Security agents allegedly arrested 12 restaurant workers without warrants. The incident took place at a Mexican restaurant where workers were reportedly barricaded inside. This has sparked concerns about the overreach of federal immigration enforcement.
Mark Fleming from the National Immigrant Justice Center argues that agents are exceeding their legal authority. He stresses that while ICE can enforce immigration laws, they must follow constitutional and congressional limits. This case highlights ongoing debates about balancing national security with individual rights.
Chicago attorneys have taken this issue to federal court, accusing agents of violating both immigration law and constitutional rights since January. At least 22 individuals claim their rights were breached during these operations. This legal battle underscores tensions surrounding U.S. immigration enforcement practices.
