Sandusky Register - By CORY FROLIK December 11, 2009 - A class-action lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Toledo on Thursday alleges U.S. Border Control agents at the Sandusky station and police officers in Norwalk, Plymouth and Attica engaged in discriminatory and illegal racial profiling.

"In none of those local cases were the people ever ticketed or arrested for anything," said lead counsel Mark Heller
