Overcharge, deport & destroy: overzealous use of the civil immigration laws & raids is itself quasi "criminal."
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal identity-theft law can not be applied against many undocumented workers who used false Social Security numbers to work in the U.S. In Flores-Figueroa v. United States
the Supreme Court held that, to convict a defendant of aggravated identity theft — which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison — the government must establish that the person knew the identification belonged to another person. The ruling puts a damper on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency’s (ICE) common and controversial strategy
of using identity theft charges as a threat to get undocumented workers to agree
to immediate deportation or boost prison sentences
