You know the classic joke, “What’s worse than being mistakenly locked in jail for three years?” And the very funny punchline goes, “When you find out you aren’t entitled to damages because the statute of limitations ran out while you were wrongfully imprisoned!” Please, laugh at this amusing joke for a time, but then calm yourself and absorb the sobering truth: this really happened to a guy, and it probably wasn’t all that funny to him.
Perhaps years of doing only e-discovery have fried my brain, but isn't there a concept of "continuing course of conduct" for statute of limitations purposes?
If that guy had been from Fresno instead of Jamaica, Captain America would have rescued him. His own fault for being from Jamaica. Should have been an asian guy from Fresno
This sort of thing isn't really going to stop until lawyers stop going for the payday and start suing the ACTUAL AGENT who didn't believe this guy.
Agents might think twice about this crap if they were the ones being dragged through court personally, with the Agency brought in as a Plaintiff witness to detail when and how this agent was trained in his duties, but then decided to ignore his training and call the brown guy a liar. It wouldn't be worth it economically, but it might serve as a deterrent
I would give to that.

You talking about that traffic stop in Houston that Dubya's father had expunged from his permanent arrest record?
Coin flip at best. I wouldn't put money on it, though.
whomever was head of ICE at the time should be fined to hell and back then fined until he/she joins the poors and a piece sliced off for this guy...
Yup.
Child rapists get a lot of statute of limitations slack.
Also guys who grab pussies like a bitch because they are celebrities.
Well stated, Alex. Thanks?
It's the John Fowles defense. Hey, I'm just a collector! No harm in that.
W went to Yale.
You changed the subject.
Thanks, Obama.
Somebody needs to ram that statue of limitations up somebody's keester. Also too, ICE is a malignancy. Fuck those rat bastards.
