Arizona sued for seizing money wired from Illinois

Tagged: , , ,

“A Burbank truck driver sued Wednesday to block Arizona authorities from seizing large money transfers sent from Illinois and 25 other states targeted because they have significant illegal-immigrant populations.

Arizona officials report that since 2002, they have seized $17 million in a little-known campaign to foil criminal networks that often wire money through Western Union and other firms to help smuggle drugs and illegal immigrants over the Mexican border.”
