L.A's "Special Order 40" Passes Muster With State Appellate Court

Brian Doherty | June 18, 2009

A Judicial Watch lawsuit I wrote about in Reason magazine back when it was filed in 2007, intended to overturn the eminently sensible L.A.P.D. "Special Order 40," which bars L.A. police officers from investigating immigration status in their normal dealings with citizens (and crooks...), lost in the California Court of Appeals.

I wrote about this at greater length at my L.A. news and politics blog "City of Angles" at KCET.org
