Parente questions the reason for Straw "to sit here now and ask him to turn his passport over to the government for no reason other than they think they can?" He says landscapers arrested by ICE "cannot stand up to the government. Mr. Straw can, and your honor can too."

Chris Parente, attorney for Brian Straw, objects to his client turning over his passport. The reason Straw went to Broadview, he says, is the feds' "demanding of passports … for people who appear to be a certain skin color."
