I comprehend your trying to say policies have changed...but in this story's context; in which, two Ameircan cirtizens were detained in a Immigration sweep, then in that context you and your assesments are incorrect.
In that context...those two American Citizen's Constitutional Rights HAVE NOT CHANGEd...That I do understand.
It has yet to be determined if their rights have been violated. Thus far, we have only their filed complaint, which may or may not be an accurate account of the events. Prior to the ruling of the court, their allegations remain “alleged.”
It’s interesting that some are willing to take at face value the complaint of criminal accomplices, while refusing to even consider the justifiable actions of federal agents.

These two American, English speaking (despite the lies being spread on this thread), natural born citizens were on a work sponsored and work payed for trip from Denver to Omaha for a conference (their job provided and payed for the transportation). A majority of the other people on the bus happened to be in this country illegally. How in God's name does that make these two "criminal accomplices"?????? What crime were they active participants in?

It is impossible to live and work in this country illegally without engaging in criminal behavior. The fact is, most of the passengers are here in violation of our laws, and are also employed by Amway. Therefore, they are either using a stolen or fake SSN. That is, unless Amway is paying them under the table, in which case, they are tax evaders. Either way, they are criminals.
There are countless citizens currently behind bars simply because they chose the wrong associates, and were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were charged along with the perpetrators, notwithstanding the fact that they did not pull the trigger, or rob the bank, or rape the woman, or steal the car. These “citizens” knew they were among a busload of criminal aliens. When one chooses to associate with criminals, one can also expect to be treated as such. In my opinion, they are simply trying to get a nice settlement.

My statment was never to to imply that their rights had been violated, it was to remind the poster that they have rights.

Um, okay. You didn't address my questions at all. I'm not talking about the criminal aliens who were arrested (even though I still hold the initial search was illegal). I'm talking about the natural born American citizens who were taking a bus trip (arranged and paid for by their employer) to a conference in Omaha who were illegally searched and illegally arrested / detained.
You're the one who called them "criminal accomplices" (in an apparent attempt to justify their treatment). I asked you to explain that, and you completely ignored it. So again, how is it they are criminal accomplices? What crime did they actively and knowingly participate in? If they are in fact criminal accomplices, why haven't they been charged as such?

You really have no idea how Amway works do you? Unless they live and work in Ada, Michigan these are NOT "employees" of Amway, no matter how you'd like to spin it.

I thought I did explain. If you are in the company of criminals during their apprehension, you are treated as an accomplice. It’s just that simple. Do you honestly believe the citizens did not realize they were cavorting with criminal aliens?
Why aren’t they being charged? Why aren’t the illegal passengers being deported? Why isn’t the bus driver charged with transporting illegal aliens (a felony)? Why isn’t Amway being investigated for employing illegal aliens? The answer is simple. Our laws are not being enforced.
Where have you been...especially on this specific topic. are you serious? keep-up or dont jump in. cheeeze
I’m not sure what your problem is, but I have not read one post on this thread in which anyone has even remotely implied that these citizens do not have rights. Why don’t you quote one?
