They locked this firefighter up for FOUR WEEKS without due process (finally released). He had proper paperwork and status to work in the US--visa being processed, he was contributing to helping fight fires in Washington. He was ONLY released because of legal action.
"The attorneys argued immigration officers wrongfully arrested Hernandez and violated his constitutional rights. They say his arrest was made without a warrant, based on no information beyond Hernandez’s race and his invocation of his constitutional right to silence, according to the suit.... Hernandez’s attorneys say immigration officials concealed Hernandez’s whereabouts from his family and attorneys for 48 hours after his arrest... Late Tuesday morning, Hernandez’s attorneys got word the federal government had decided to move to dismiss the removal proceedings against him and were releasing him that day. He was released around noon."
