Tagged: attorney, Louisiana, New Orleans, police, studentPosted on: February 5th, 2007“A Louisiana law that allows police to arrest suspected illegal immigrants during traffic stops is under fire from lawyers representing some of the thousands of Hispanics who have come to the city since Hurricane Katrina.
The Louisiana statute, enacted in 2002, makes it a felony for “alien students” and “nonresident aliens” to drive a vehicle without documentation proving that they are in the country legally.”
