Postville is one of the latest in a series of immigration raids that have intensified in the past three years. These raids are leading our nation to a moral, legal and humanitarian crisis.

When the U.S. Supreme Court took up the case City of Ontario v. Quon, the legal world braced for the justices to rule on whether employees have a privacy interest in the messages they send on employer-issued mobile devices.
But the Court sidestepped that issue, ruling instead that an employer's acquisition of employees' text message transcripts to determine whether the messages were personal or business-related in nature was not an unreasonable search. Therefore, the Court ruled, no Fourth Amendment search and seizure violation occurred.
