Ohio’s governor named in lawsuit
"A Latino group is asking a judge to prevent state officials from canceling the registrations of more than 40,000 vehicles apparently driven by undocumented immigrants.
The League of United Latin American Citizens filed the lawsuit against state officials in Franklin County Common Pleas Court this morning.
The legal action comes two weeks before the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles plans to revoke the potentially fraudulently obtained license plates of those who cannot provide proof of legal U.S. residency.
. . . The policy had been scheduled to take effect Aug. 1, 2008, but former Public Safety Director Henry Guzman delayed the changes after meeting with largely Latino business owners worried about financial losses." See whole story in the Columbus Dispatch.
