Lawyers tell Latinos to learn their rights - Dallas attorneys threaten suits alleging racial profiling; campaign urges Hispanics to drive carefully

Amid a crackdown on illegal immigration, two Dallas lawyers are urging illegal and legal immigrants and U.S. citizens of Hispanic ancestry to know their rights if stopped by traffic police in cities around Dallas.

Lawyers Domingo García and Fernando Dubove are threatening to file federal lawsuits alleging racial profiling and say they have about a dozen complaints from people who were stopped for traffic infractions and placed under detention by federal immigration agents.

But the lawyers said potential litigants wish to stay anonymous until they file a suit.”*
