Yoon v. Carney [1]

Joanne Yoon filed suit against Jeff Schwilk, the founder of San Diego Minutemen, Sharon Bush, and activist Ray Carney, for defamation over comments and a photograph posted to a password-protected Yahoo group, which implied that she was a prostitute. She also challenged comments in e-mails between the two defendants and other Minutemen members.

Yoon claims that the defendants targeted her because of her work with the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation and the ACLU, which monitored Minutemen rallies at day-labor sites. Yoon seeks $1 million in compensatory damages.
