TEWKSBURY — For the fourth consecutive year, members of the Caswell family will spend the holiday season wrapped in a cloak of uncertainty, not knowing whether they will lose everything they have worked their entire lives to build.
Russell H. Caswell, 69, the family patriarch, has been locked in a battle with the US government since September 2009, fighting to save the motel his father built in 1955 on a slice of commercial property that hugs Route 38, the main artery through Tewksbury.

Back in the USSA.
Would love to see the US Government try to seize a Marriot, Sheraton, Motel 6 or Best Western. Likely just as many drug crimes occur behind closed doors in those hotels as well.
The government should be on trial for stealing....jerks.
But if he tried to deny people rooms because he thought they might be involved in drugs, he would be in trouble for discrimination...so he couldn't win... Bad interpretation of the law...
