Abstract:

In a recent report from the U.S. Department of Justice, the sheriff's office of Alamance County is alleged to have participated in racial profiling of Latino drivers. Arrests in traffic stops of Latinos were used to process individuals for deportation; these findings have led to re-examination of many immigration cases from Alamance County.
