Weld County ID theft case involving suspected illegal immigrants goes to
Colo. Supreme Court

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Supreme Court is hearing arguments about the
legality of an identity theft investigation against hundreds of suspected
illegal immigrants who were filing taxes, without having valid Social
Security numbers.
A district court judge halted the investigation in April after he ruled
Weld County authorities violated people's privacy and had no probable cause
to inspect their tax returns.
Anyone who earns income in the U.S. must file taxes, regardless of legal
status.
The public defender's office and the American Civil Liberties Union are
arguing against Weld County's appeal Thursday.
County authorities said last year as many as 1,300 suspected undocumented
immigrants were using other people's identities to work and file taxes.

These illegals are not paying taxes BTW. They're filing a tax return to
claim someone's refund!! And the ACLU defends them. |
