That was fast. An Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY ordinance targeting Latino day laborers seeking work was shot down yesterday by a Federal Judge, who issued a temporary restraining order barring enforcement of the law until a full hearing on the matter on May 28th.
The decision came following a lawsuit filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union

The law used the excuse of public safety, claiming that day laborers seeking work in Farmingdale and Locust Valley presented a danger to pedestrians and drivers. Most Latino immigrant workers and their supporters say the law was racial profiling and anti-immigrant.

For now day laborers can return to seeking work in order to provide for themselves and their familias.
