"Dismissal of Guilty Pleas Is Sought for Immigrants"

"Dismissal of Guilty Pleas Is Sought for Immigrants": The New York Times today contains an article that begins, "The immigration lawyers' national bar association called on the Justice Department on Tuesday to consider dismissing the guilty pleas of nearly 300 illegal immigrant workers arrested in a meatpacking plant raid in Iowa last year, one day after the Supreme Court rejected a statute that prosecutors used to pressure them."

That newspaper also contains a related editorial entitled "Making the Punishment Fit the Crime."
