Two women from Montana are suing the US customs and border protection agency because they were detained when border patrol officers observed them speaking Spanish at a gas station. And the lawyers keep getting richer...
Please include a link to the article. This accusation calls for the operation of the mind unless the officers admit to detaining them solely based on them speaking Spanish.
They are suing for racial discrimination and being unlawfully detained. Speaking Spanish isn’t a race and I did not see where they were detained Questioned yes — detained no They are seeking an “unspecified amount in monetary damages”, yeh...
Some of these things may not be fair, but how do you expect enforcement to know who the illegals are? Anyway, I suspect they were detained because when approached their English wasn't really good.
You know, I tried to learn Spanish all of my life, but I just can't do it to save my life. That's American Spanish, not European Spanish.
Okay, so here is a link to your article. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino...er-speaking-spanish-montana-file-suit-n971716 It does quote the officer saying "Ma'am, the reason I asked you for your ID is because I came in here, and I saw that you guys are speaking Spanish, which is very unheard of up here," Looks like he used very poor judgement.
If they win no more cleaning motel rooms for them They can go back to their home county and build the best hovel in the shantytown
If its this easy to make money im gonma walk around in a sombrero speaking Spanish in front of police stations all over the country
They didn’t detain her so I am not sure why she would win — not saying that our police and courts won’t settle with taxpayer funds though. All she had to do is ask “am I being detained or am I free to go”, that would have ended it.
I don't believe so, but admitting that it was because they were speaking Spanish is just plain stupid.
