City argues Constitution doesn't protect undocumented immigrant murdered by police
Police go to wrong address while searching for a suspect, and "accidentally" shoot resident in the back of his head. Now they argue they didn't violate his civil rights, because he was undocumented and has no civil rights.
This is what they voted for....
"Ismael Lopez may have been a person on American soil, but he was not one of the 'We, the People of the United States' entitled to the civil rights invoked in this lawsuit," wrote the attorney for the city, Katherine Kerby of Columbus, Mississippi. Kerby represents former Southaven police officer Zachary Durden, who investigators concluded fired the fatal shot.
