SAN DIEGO—Lawyers for an anti-illegal immigration group say California officials bowed to political pressure when they revoked the group's Adopt-a-Highway stretch near a Border Patrol checkpoint.
Attorneys for the San Diego Minutemen told a federal judge Friday that their Adopt-a-Highway sign should be put back on Interstate 5 in San Clemente, north of San Diego. The California Department of Transpiration ordered its removal in January.

Lawyers for the state said authorities felt the sign posed a safety risk because it could attract vandals and demonstrators.
