Late last night the ACLU filed a law suit in LA on behalf of mentally incompetent illegals.
The suit claims that the US Government, in particular the Department of Homeland Security, has failed to identify mentally incompetent illegals and because of their failure their civil liberties have been violated, with one specific detainee having languished in prison for 5 years. The suit filed in US District Court seeks to force Homeland Security to develop a system for identifying mentally incompetent individuals and to require that they are assigned counsel. Currently this group of individuals is afforded these rights but they are often overlooked because there is no system in place to identify them, particularly the indigent.
In 2008 the Division of Immigration Health Services sited up to 5% or nearly 19,000 illegals, were suffering from mental illness.
