Miami Herald: ACLU will plan Class-Action Lawsuit against Miami City

Protesters released to quiet streets
BY RICHARD BRAND, KARL ROSS AND CHARLES RABIN

Long after foreign ministers checked out of their hotels, scores of protesters in Miami for last week's free trade summit were released from jail Saturday while civil rights lawyers were fashioning legal actions on their behalf.

The streets were quiet for the first time in days. Police were scattered and harder to spot downtown, and no arrests related to the Free Trade Area of the Americas conference were reported.

A special court handling FTAA cases held 77 bail hearings for protesters charged with misdemeanors, including failure to observe a police order to disperse, resisting arrest and unlawful assembly.
