Ernesto Galarza was born in New Jersey. He is of Puerto Rican descent and lives in Allentown. In November 2008 he was swept up in a series of drug arrests by Allentown police. A target of the police was the construction contractor for whom Galarza worked. Mr. Galarza had nothing to do with the crimes of his employer, but he was held anyway, even though he was able to post bail.
Mr. Galarza had his social security card and his driver’s license. Didn’t matter. He looked like an “illegal,” and he was held for almost three days.
This happened in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Lou Barletta must be proud.
By the way, ACLU is suing. I'm not a lawyer, but I think they have a case.
