ACLU sues Luzerne County Register of Wills

WILKES-BARRE – The American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit today against Luzerne County Register of Wills Dorothy Stankovic for refusing to accept a marriage application of an illegal alien who wishes to marry a legal resident of the United States.

The suit, filed on behalf of Heather Buck and Jose Guadelupe Arias-Maravilla of West Hazleton, says Stankovic’s policy of requiring persons seeking a marriage application to prove they are legal residents violates several federal constitutional laws, including a person’s right to due process and equal protection under the law.

According to the lawsuit, Arias-Maravilla, a citizen of Mexico, has acknowledged he is in the United States illegally and has agreed to voluntary depart the country by May 12. He and Buck, who is a legal resident, are the parents of a child newborn child and desire to marry before Arias-Maravilla departs.

The couple say they tried at least twice to obtain a marriage license application from Stankovic’s office, but were advised it would not be provided unless Arias-Maravilla could prove he was legally present in the United States.

The ACLU has too much time and money on their hands for them to sue in federal court over a marriage license for an illegal alien.

Next thing you know they'll be demanding free social services, medical care, education, housing and social security.

Oops, guess we have some work to do.

De listing illegal aliens from minority status would be a good start.

I'm all for them being a minority of Zero.
