Day laborers in New York state who claim a suburban village was illegally harassing them dropped part of their lawsuit Monday to avoid publicly revealing whether they are illegal immigrants. The decision meant the plaintiffs would no longer argue that the Village of Mamaroneck was attacking their First Amendment rights to free speech and free association. The case now rests on the workers' 14th Amendment claim that they were discriminated against because they are Hispanic.
