Re: 16 illegals sue Arizona rancher Claim violation of rights as they crossed his lan
The trespassing on state property is a separate issue, though I'm surprised it didn't end in jail time for unlawful arrest or the civilian equivalent. This specific case I'm more willing to lean towards property owner as he has apparently suffered much damage, vandalism, and theft at the hands of illegals. I'd be on edge to. As for the assault charge, well they'll have to prove that I guess. I don't know what sort of laws they have in his state, but in my State I can shoot people for trespassing if I feel they pose a threat to me.
Regulating access to your property is completely legal. Threatening to kill someone and kicking a woman while she's down on the ground are not, nor is trespassing on state property and holding US citizens hostage.
