Dec-24-02. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that the INS unlawfully arrested large numbers of people, December 16th through December 18th in Los Angeles as they came forward to voluntarily comply with new "special registration" requirements. Four of the hundreds of individuals arrested as a result of the new INS policy are co-plaintiffs, along with two others who are afraid to register due to the illegal arrests.
The lawsuit takes issue with four aspects of the recent arrests and seeks an immediate injunction to avoid similar detentions during upcoming registrations scheduled for January 10, 2003 (citizens of 13 countries including Afghanistan, Algeria, United Arab Emirates and Yemen) and February 21, 2003 (citizens of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia).
