From Wikipedia:
"The American Civil Liberties Union sued Weld County after Cooke and District Attorney Ken Buck seized the income tax records of a preparer who served thousands of Latino residents in Greeley. Cooke and Buck stated that the records were taken as they claimed that around 1,300 illegal immigrants filed tax returns using false or stolen identities. Weld County spent over $100,000 on defense during the case. District Judge James Hiatt ruled in favor of the ACLU stating that the search conducted by Buck and Cooke was illegal as the federal law made the records confidential." |
