US District Court, Western District for Pennsylvania
Sara Rose & Witold Walczak (ACLU-PA); Jacqueline B. Martinez (JBM Legal, LLC); and Diane Ryan Katz
The ACLU of Pennsylvania filed a federal lawsuit on October 20, 2011, on behalf of nine Mexican lawn service workers who were falsely arrested and detained for hours while shopping at the Galleria mall in Tarentum (Allegheny County) last October. It is believed that Frazer Township Police officers, working with J.C. Penney employees, arrested the men because some Mexican men had distributed counterfeit money in a neighboring county.
