Default Hispanic's - Latino's Sue Feds For Lost Land

Basically, they are wanting a class action suit based upon their racial identification as opposed to trying their cases on other merit, or as individuals

Quote:
A lawsuit filed nine years ago on the behalf of Hispanic farmers from Texas to California alleged the USDA discriminated against Hispanics such as Atayde by refusing them help that was extended to white farmers in similar situations, then neglecting to investigate complaints. A similar suit, filed by black farmers, led to a billion-dollar settlement.
