Abstract:

The Department of Justice concluded a two year investigation of the Alamance County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Terry Johnson. Evidence demonstrated that the Sheriff and his office are guilty of racial profiling Latinos by targeting this population with various forms of enforcement. U.S. Assistant Attorney General said the Department of Justice will work cooperatively with the county's sheriff's department but if the problem is not remedied legal action will be necessary.
