Mexico-linked Junta sues feds over New Haven immigration raids

Junta for Progressive Action is a New Haven, Connecticut-based non-profit that is or was collaborating with the Mexican government. They were headed by someone named Kica Matos, who now works for the city and has other links to mayor John DeStefano. Now, together with another group called Unidad Latina en Accion, they're suing the feds to obtain the details of an ICE immigration raid that occured in that city on June 6. While I actually support them in their attempt to make sure that their FOIA request is honored, no one should support them in their wider goal of encouraging and enabling illegal immigration.

The Yale Law School's free legal clinic is involved; the Dean of that school is the ethically-challenged Harold Koh.
