#2 People here are still antsy about the city of Chandler illegal alien sweep in 1997. Close to a "police rampage", federal and local officers acted like they had never heard of police procedure or the bill of rights.

Anyone with brown, yellow or black skin was stopped on the street and repeatedly asked to show ID. Hasty police roadblocks to check drivers. Warrant-less home searches and hot pursuits of suspected illegals through people's homes. It was pretty close to martial law.

432 were initially arrested on suspicion of being illegals, many of whom were released when able to eventually produce ID proving they were citizens or here legally.

The resulting multi-million dollar lawsuit pointed out dozens of violations of police procedure and the law, and the police had to issue numerous apologies.

The consensus was that it was pure luck there hadn't been loss of life, either from police shooting suspects or homeowners shooting police.
