Nine day laborers are expected to file a federal lawsuit today challenging the legality of a sting operation in Danbury, Conn., last year that led to their arrest on immigration charges.

Those plaintiffs, and a tenth man whose traffic stop for a noisy muffler resulted in his deportation to Ecuador, contend that their arrests were illegal and part of a campaign based on racial profiling. They also say that the city of Danbury, its mayor, Mark D. Boughton, and its police chief acted to enforce federal immigration law without authority.

At a time when towns across the country are wrestling with how to deal with illegal immigrant residents, and when day laborers are often a flash point of conflict, the lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges to local crackdowns.

According to the complaint, on Sept. 19, 2006, a Danbury police officer posing as a contractor drove an unmarked van belonging to the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to a park in downtown Danbury where day laborers, many from Ecuador, gather. Pretending to offer $11 an hour to demolish a fence, the officer transported 11 would-be workers to a fenced-in lot where they were arrested, handed over to federal immigration agents and eventually placed in deportation proceedings.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- Thirty four people were arrested by immigration agents in Minnesota in the last week as part of an effort to curb "transnational street gangs."

The alleged gang members are from Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Somalia U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents say. Of the 34 arrested, 30 are alleged to be illegal aliens connected to gangs including "Sureño-13, Vatos Locos, Rough Tough Somali Crips, and the Mexican Mafia" a news release from immigration officers says.

During her acceptance speech at the Emmy's, Kathy Griffin said the following:

"A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. Suck it, Jesus. This award is my god now!"

The Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, TN, saw it fit to pay $90,440 for a one-time full-page ad in USA Today to proclaim "Enough is enough".

A friend said it best with the following analogy:
Should married people be offended if she had said: "A lot of people come up here and thank their spouse for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than my ex-husband. Suck it, Matt. This award is my hubby now!"?

Jesus said that if someone struck your right cheek, that you should turn and offer him the other (if right cheek was being struck, this implies a slap to the face which would've been considered a severe attack on one's dignity). I must have missed the part about buying adspace to slander them

Let's assume that someone needs glasses but they haven't got them. They instead, just for fun, try on someone else's to see how glasses would look on them, instead they see their face all blemished, and when they take the glasses off, the blemishes are still a little visible but not as well. Is this how the person really looks?
*note that the glasses the person tries on is not the right prescription for them, it might be higher or lower.

I added the K&N Cold Air Intake. It has the bigger exhaust being a Daytona RT. Please give me some serious mods that a wanna-be auto tech can perform. I am in no way qualified to call myself anything more than a wannabe, the most extensive work I've done is replace a master cylinder and rebuild a brake caliber. So if you tell me to open it up and work on the interior engine I will just mess it up.

Please Help!!!
