Bautista v. United States

In this legal action, ACLU lawyers accuse officers of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of engaging in racial and ethnic stereotyping. They carried out an immigration roundup that violated the Fourth Amendment rights of dozens of Denver-area Spanish-speaking residents and resulted in the illegal arrest and illegal search of United States citizens and legal immigrants who had done absolutely nothing wrong.
