US immigration raids violated constitution

U.S. immigration officers violated the rights of suspected illegal aliens by forcing their way into homes in pre-dawn raids, a lawsuit filed on Thursday says.

The officers woke suspects in eight New Jersey homes by pounding on doors between August 2006 and January 2008.

They ordered children out of beds, shouted obscenities and shoved guns into people’s chests, according to the suit filed in federal court in Newark, New Jersey, by Seton Hall Law School’s Center for Social Justice and the law firm Lowenstein Sandler.”*
