WELD COUNTY - The Weld County district attorney has made 160 shirts to take a jab at the American Civil Liberties Union for recently filing a lawsuit against him.

The black lettering say on the front: "The ACLU Sued My District Attorney & Sheriff."

The ACLU's lawsuit alleges District Attorney Ken Buck and the county sheriff illegally seized records from an income tax service as part of an identity theft investigation.

Buck alleges more than 1,300 immigrants filed tax returns with false or stolen identities.

The back of the shirts, designed and paid for by Buck, read: "Weld County Standing Up For Americans."

Buck is taking his identity theft cases to a grand jury after a judge ordered him to stop filing more cases because they included confidential information.
