GREELEY — "Operation Numbers Game" may soon be judged by the Colorado Supreme Court.
Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday asked the state's highest court to rule on the legality of the controversial effort in Weld County to snag illegal immigrants who were using stolen IDs.
Sheriff's deputies in October searched Amalia's Translation and Tax Service in Greeley and seized more than 5,000 files of tax records. Amalia's is certified by the government to process tax returns for illegal immigrants.
The probe targeted illegal immigrants who were accused of using stolen ID cards, as well as fake or stolen Social Security numbers.
Based on the search at Amalia's, about 100 people were arrested on fraud charges. Some have been deported.
But the ACLU sued on behalf of Amalia's, claiming the search violated the constitutional rights of privacy. District Judge James Hiatt agreed, issuing a preliminary injunction and halting the operation.
Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck and Sheriff John Cooke appealed Hiatt's decision to the Colorado Court of Appeals.
Two criminal cases, also part of Operation Numbers Game, have also been appealed to the Supreme Court. The brief says all three cases should be decided at once.
Lisa Hogan, attorney for Buck, said the appeal of Hiatt's ruling should remain in the Court of Appeals, pending a decision in the criminal cases in the Supreme Court.
There is no indication when the Supreme Court will take up the ACLU request.

"Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday asked the state's highest court to rule on the legality of the controversial effort in Weld County to snag illegal immigrants who were using stolen IDs."
This infuriates me. I read this in every left-leaning, Mecha-loving, MALDEF pandering, Aztlan-inspired article. The use of the word "controversial" associated with and "effort" or law. It's not controversial if it's a law, if it's want legal US citizens want.
What is controversial is the overthrow of our country by our Congressmen, foreign governments and all others who think they are entitled to our land, our money and our rights.

I have an idea, why don't we let the owners of the stolen ID decide whether to press charges?
Anyone at the ACLU try to find them and ask?Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Shouldn't the police and the courts uphold the rights of the American citizens who got their identities stolen? The American citizen dosnt matter to our politicians or our Gov. There is no one looking out for us.

How about you ask the Americans citizens since it is our Identity they are stealing...UMMM something tells me you would be afraid to do that!!
These Judges better protect American citizens and remember it is a felony to steal an Identification in this country....this should not even be in question!
Throw out the special interest groups, we are sick of them costing us money on frivolous crap we already have laws for and laws that are as plain as the nose on their face.Please support ALIPAC's fight to save American Jobs & Lives from illegal immigration by joining our free Activists E-Mail Alerts (CLICK HERE)
