According to the Greeley Tribune, the ACLU has successfully put a halt to the Buck’s illegal immigration busting plan, Operation Numbers Game.  From the Tribune…

Judge James Hiatt put a stop to the identity theft investigation called Operation Number Games, saying deputies wrongly seized federal income tax records to pursue suspected illegal immigrants.

The judge today ordered Weld District Attorney Ken Buck and the sheriff’s department to return or destroy all evidence seized. Buck left the courtroom after a short discussion with his attorney, and he would not comment about the order. His attorneys said they would appeal the ruling.

I’m not sure how this will affect Buck’s Senate bid, but he sure seems to be prosecuting for political gain (think dog poop).
