TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio law firm that works with migrant farmworkers is accusing authorities in northern Ohio of stopping and questioning Hispanics without probable cause.

A lawsuit filed in federal court in Toledo accuses U.S. Border Patrol agents and police officers in three northern Ohio cities of racial profiling.

A message seeking comment was left Friday with the Border Patrol's office in Chicago.

Twelve people and two organizations are joining the lawsuit filed Thursday.

They say authorities have stopped men, women, and children because they are Hispanic and then detain and question them about their immigration statuses.
