A BLACK-AMERICAN WOMAN WORKING AS AN “ICE” DEPORTATION AGENT IN ALBUQUERQUE ALLEGES SHE WAS THE TARGET OF RACIAL PROFILING BY THE BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT THIS PAST SPRING DURING SEVERAL TRAFFIC STOPS.
THE A-C-L-U HAS FILED A LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF 38 YEAR OLD SHERESE CRAWFORD SEEKING DAMAGES AND A CHANGE IN B-C-S-O POLICY. THE LAWSUIT SAYS CRAWFORD WAS NEVER GIVEN A TICKET OR A WARNING AND THE TRAFFIC STOPS WERE DONE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF HER SKIN COLOR.
