"ICE arrested Isaac Antonio Villegas Molina during a routine check-in, prompting his attorney to file an emergency petition for his release. The lawsuit challenges the legality of immigration roving patrols, claiming they violate Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful searches and seizures."
"Villegas was detained after previously being released on a $5,000 bond and had been checking in with ICE. His attorney described the lawsuit as one of the first cases challenging the Trump Administration's immigration roving patrols."
"Tolchin stated, 'I think 100% it is because of this lawsuit. He was incredibly brave to come forward and to be a plaintiff... To be targeted because he is pursuing his rights is unacceptable, but not surprising.'"
