The ACLU Defends Illegals in Los Angeles

By |2023-05-20T09:38:21-04:00September 29th, 2006|

An article in World Net Daily on 16 September, 2006, described an ACLU-sponsored effort to support Special Order 40 of the Los Angeles Police Department. This Order requires the police in that City to refuse to ask for and act on the illegal status of any alien whom they question or arrest. This is part of the effort of the City Council there to make L.A. a “sanctuary city.”

The national organization, Judicial Watch, has brought the federal case to strike Special Order 40 because it conflicts with a ten- year-old federal law which prohibits “any government entity or official” from communicating to or from the […]

Ninth Circuit Helps ACLU Sabotage the First Amendment. Again?

By |2023-05-20T09:38:21-04:00September 29th, 2006|

The Mercury News published on 20 September, 2006, an article about a split decision by a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, rejecting the use of a community building in a Contra Costa library. Though the article does not mention whether the ACLU was directly involved in this litigation, the outcome is squarely on point to the ACLU’s national policies.

The federal trial court had ruled that the Faith Center Church Evangelistic Ministries could use library meeting rooms on an equal basis as any other private group which sought the use of such rooms. This was in line with the most recent US Supreme […]

ACLU Thinks American Elections Should not be Restricted to American Voters

By |2023-05-20T09:38:22-04:00September 29th, 2006|

The House of Representatives has followed a growing trend in state legislatures to pass laws requiring voters to obtain – usually free – some form of photo ID to show before they cast their votes. Several states have passed such laws, plus a few local jurisdictions like Albuquerque, N.M. The House action would apply the same requirement in federal elections starting in 2010.

The bill has now gone to the Senate. President Bush has stated that he will sign it into law, when it comes to him.

The ACLU called this “undue and unnecessary burdens on Americans’ fundamental right to vote. H.R. 4844, the ‘Federal […]

The Associated Press wrote a story published in the Arizona Star on August 24 about a “new civil rights group” which is objecting to certain policies of the US Border Patrol. What the AP failed to report is that this new group (which involves the ACLU) is also affiliated with the Mexican government, and opposes all controls on illegal immigration.

The new group, based in Los Angeles, is called the “Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law. Its participants include the ACLUs of Arizona, New Mexico, San Diego, and Texas. Other participants include the Border Angels, the American Friends Service Committee, the Mexican American Legal Defense […]

New Orleans Times-Picayune – 8/6/2006

The ACLU of Louisiana has advised officials of the St. Bernard Parish not to build a memorial to the victims of Hurricane Katrina which would feature as part of it, a cross. The ACLU wants the Parish instead to erect a “religiously neutral symbol” to commemorate the dead

After receiving the letter from the ACLU, Parish President Henry “Junior” Rodriguez responded angrily suggesting that the ACLU could kiss a part of his anatomy.

The memorial, which will be mounted near the shoreline of the Mississippi River Gulf-outlet at Shell Beach, will be erected on private land and is […]

The ACLU Sides with Illegal Immigrants

By |2023-05-20T09:38:23-04:00September 28th, 2006|

Rhode Island Westerly Sun – 8/8/2006

A Rhode Island State Police trooper was following proper procedure when he asked 14 passengers in a van – all illegal immigrants – to produce identification following a traffic stop on a state route. When none of the 14 could produce identification, the trooper called Immigration and Customs enforcement. The illegal immigrants are now awaiting deportation proceedings.

The ACLU has accused the officer of stopping the van for no reason and conducting racial profiling. The police have countered that the US Supreme Court has ruled that an officer can request I.D. during a traffic stop; that the traffic […]

The ACLU of Florida has sent a letter to the city of Palm Bay opposing the city’s proposed anti-illegal immigration ordinance. It claims that local governments have no right to police illegal immigration and that the ordinance will lead to discrimination.

ACLU Sues Town Over Illegal Immigration Crackdown

By |2023-05-20T09:38:24-04:00September 28th, 2006|

Associated Press – 8/16/2006

The ACLU has sued the town of Hazelton, Pennsylvania over one of the toughest crackdowns on illegal immigrants by a U.S. city. Hazelton officials have passed a law that would fine landlords $1000 for renting to illegals, deny business permits to people who give them jobs, and make English the city’s official language.

Mayor Lou Barietta, who proposed the ordinance after two illegal immigrants were charged with shooting and killing a man, said, “They are attempting to scare the city into backing off. We’re not going to be bullied…(w)er’e confident the ordinance will stand up to judicial scrutiny, and […]
