A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Latino U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who were detained during a federal law enforcement action at an Idaho horse racing track in October, alleging that immigration enforcement was carried out without proper oversight. The lawsuit claims the families were subjected to unfair treatment and held for extended periods without access to legal representation or due process. It also asserts that the use of force by law enforcement during the detention exceeded necessary levels. A judge has yet to rule on the case.
