Abstract:

Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson is alleged by the U.S. Department of Justice to be guilty of racially profiling and misconduct. For years, Johnson has been accused by civil rights advocates of targeting and arresting Latino residents in an effort to spur deportations. A District Court judge will soon rule on the alleged pattern of discrimination of Latino residents under the direction of Johnson.
