Compromise Ordered

A federal judge Tuesday ordered attorneys for the Immigration and Naturalization Service and advocates for farm-worker amnesty applicants to work out a compromise on a lawsuit filed against Border Patrol agents who have illegally seized documents from dozens of migrant workers. U.S. District Judge J. Lawrence Irving ordered INS attorney Charles Hamilton and Stephen Rosenbaum, a lawyer with the California Rural Legal Assistance, to reach a compromise by April 24. CRLA lawyers teamed up with the American Civil Liberties Union to sue the INS in December to stop the border agents from seizing the documents.
