Autry picks fights with the Feds

Submitted by jarah on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 13:20.

Please help us fill in the gaps here: Mayor Autry wants the cities of Fresno and Mendota to sue the federal government for deporting the undocumented. According to the news brief, Autry believes this violates the civil rights of the U.S. citizen children whose non-U.S. citizen parents are deported.

Is having parents a "civil right"? It's an honest question, we don't know the answer. There are lots of other arguments to be made not to deport members of our communities. Is this the right one? Does it have any legal legs?
