Thanks ariffle. The ordeal seems too surreal to be true. When we'd checked with attorneys it sounded as though we could fight them in court but the fees would cost us thousands that we can't afford.
I thought about contacting the ACLU with the information regarding their threats regarding Hispanics but I don't have proof. We never recorded the phone call.
Then I thought about posting a sign in the front yard stating:
"THE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL SAY WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO PRIVACY ON THIS PROPERTY. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER OUR HOUSE WHENEVER THEY WANT. THEY SAY THEY WILL BURN OUR HOUSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT MAKING IMPROVEMENTS FAST ENOUGH."
It would probably only piss them off and might even cause us further legal difficulties.
