Judge Cacheris ruled that the illegal aliens and their organization lacked standing to challenge the County's rules, because the aliens had not suffered any real injury. He found that the County did not criminalize any conduct that was not already a crime. "Neither the Resolution nor the Orders direct the actions of private citizens or criminalize behavior that was not already punishable by local, state, or federal ordinance, and thus fear of such punishment does not create a cognizable injury." | Judge Cacheris ruled that the illegal aliens and their organization lacked standing to challenge the County's rules, because the aliens had not suffered any real injury.
