Ed Slavins note: I am impressed with this libertarian law group, which investigated the City of St. Augustine's regulation of historic tour guides here.

Leonardo was born in 1999 in Lehigh Acres, Florida, to Mexican national parents. That makes him an American citizen.[1] When Leonardo was 14 years old, his family moved to Robertsdale, Alabama, where he attended high school and has lived ever since. After finishing high school in 2018, Leo started working as a construction worker. He began as a bricklayer, then took up masonry, and now lays concrete for new homes.
In early 2025, federal agents—often masked and always armed—began raiding private construction sites in Alabama. The raids follow a common pattern: Agents enter private properties—even areas that are posted, fenced, or enclosed—without warrants. Then, they seize all workers who appear Latino—even citizens who have done nothing wrong. This all happened to Leo, not once, but twice.
Now Leonardo is suing with IJ to end unconstitutional raids on private property and get justice for the unconstitutional detentions he suffered.
