File this under Sanctuary Nation: Open-borders activists sued the Mamaroneck, NY, police to prevent them from inquiring about the immigration status of “undocumented” day laborers. Not only did the open-borders crowd win the lawsuit gagging police, but the federal judge in the case, Colleen McMahon, also ordered the village to pay more than half a million dollars of the workers’ legal fees. WCBS-TV reports that the ruling has far-reaching implications (hat tip: Noam Askew and reader Mark R.):

Because it would be a federal court-approved settlement, the agreement could influence the treatment of day laborers elsewhere around the country, where they have become an increasingly visible symbol of the immigration issue.

Is your town next?
