Page 8/The Battalion/Tuesday, April 26, 1983 Immigration sweeps attract court probe United Press International WASHINGTON —The Sup reme Court agreed Monday to assess the federal immigration service’s frequent use of sur prise visits by agents to factories to seek out illegal aliens. The justices will consider the government’s, appeal of a ruling that the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s use of factory “surveys” to find illegal aliens violates the Constitution’s guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure. Plainclothes agents, acting on tips, enter a factory armed with a search warrant, or sometimes the owner’s consent. Some The INS has stepped up its sweeps through factories, espe cially in the garment industry, to seek out people illegally in the country. The service says the lower court ruling “almost com pletely destroys” one of its most effective enforcement techni ques. agents remain at exits to prevent anyone from escaping. Accom panied by shouts of “la migra” — immigration — the agents tour the workplace, asking people ab out their citizenship. The immigration appeal was sparked by inspections at two factories. In January 1977, agents apprehended 78 illegal aliens at the Southern California Davis Pleating Co. plant, which employs 300 people. A second raid in September 1977 yielded 39 illegal aliens. In October 1977, immigra tion agents visted a second plant, Mr. Pleat, where half the 90 workers were illegal aliens. The raids were challenged by four workers who are not illegal aliens, but who said questioning during the visits violated Fourth Amendment protections. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a ruling favor able to the government and found the surveys illegal be cause they amounted to a sei zure of the entire work force. The justices today also: —Agreed to decide if Con sumer Reports may be sued by a company dissatisfied with the monthly magazine’s evaluation of its loudspeakers. —Refused to lift a court order permitting the jailing of 73- year-old Mafia kingpin Carlos Marcello and former Louisiana Commissioner of Administra tion Charles Roemer II for their convictions in the FBI’s Brilab investigation. —Announced 4% E legant dining for that special occasion at prices for any occasion — with a different special every night — an entree, soup or salad, fresh vegetable, potato, and dinner roll.

Daniel Moynihan, D-N.Y., said Mon day he would introduce a Con stitutional amendment that would prevent Congress from stripping the Supreme Court of its jurisdiction on rights-related issues like prayer in public schools. Speaking to delegates attend ing the American Newspaper Publishers Association conven tion, Moynihan criticized the media’s handling last summer of legislation by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, to deny the court juris diction over any case relating to voluntary prayer in public schools and public buildings. Moynihan said while the re porting of the bill focused on the prayer issue it overlooked the aspect that it was an attempt to limit the court’s powers. The Helms measure never made it to the Senate floor for a vote because of a successful fil- buster against it, but Moynihan said it would have passed if it had. “Now, clearly, if the Supreme Court can be denied jurisdiction with respect to the First Amend ment, it can be denied jurisdic tion in any apsect, including the one that states Congress! make no law respecting establishment of religion abridging the freedom speech or the press,"thesem said. “Now what is disturbing that Congress, arguably,! that power,” he said. Moynihan said he would troduce legislation to amt Article III, Section2ofthe& stitution, which states "theSi rerne Court shall havea| jurisdiction, both as to laws fact, with such exceptions,! under such regulations as Congress shall make."

Hooks told more than 1,000 people attending the NAACP’s Northeast Regional Convention Saturday black leaders will serve their constituents best by using their power to shape the Demo cratic Party platform in 1984 and win concessions from the eventual nominee. “We (the NAACP) are unila terally opposed to a black candi date in the general election be cause it seems to us it would en sure the election of a Reagan- type candidate,” he said. Hooks said Harold Washing ton’s recent victory as the first black mayor of Chicago was clear evidence of the gro*: political power of blacks. “The Washington vidij symbolized the power of k black vote within the ® stream of the political syi The message from Chic loud and clear,” he said Democratic Party cannotUm for granted; the Republic cannot ignore us.
