Judge Won't Order U.S. to Search for Man

LOS ANGELES -- A federal judge refused to order U.S.
authorities to help in the search for a mentally disabled man
whose family claims he was wrongly deported to Mexico.

U.S. District Judge Dean Pregerson said Wednesday he wasn't
sure that he had the authority to order the government to
help find Pedro Guzman, though he said it would be the "right"
and "moral" thing to do.

Pregerson asked government lawyers to update him Thursday
on what is being done to locate Guzman and what will happen
if he appears at a U.S. border checkpoint.

Guzman's relatives say he is a U.S. citizen. They sued the
Department of Homeland Security and the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department on Monday, saying they have been
searching for the 29-year-old in Tijuana for a month.

uproar about cracking down on illegal immigrants. They know that they will be caught up in the net. To some white people all Latinos are illegal.
