RICO —Citizen Recourse

Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.


An interesting tidbit of information that eludes public disclosure anywhere accept Free Republic...

Does this mean that we can file RICO suits against the Catholic Church Diocese in LA? At the very least, any organization that acts as a sanctuary for illegals should lose Tax Exempt status.
