MALDEF: Immigration

Litigation

Vicente v. Barnett

In March 2004, a group of Latinos were violently assaulted, detained and threatened with death by rancher Roger Barnett, his wife, Barbara, and his brother, Donald. Almost five years later, justice was served as a civil jury awarded damages on the women plaintiffs' claims of assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
