“A North Carolina sheriff’s department systematically targeted Hispanics for traffic checks and other infringements, the US Justice Department ruled Tuesday after a two-year investigation. The sheriff’s office would ‘explicitly instruct deputies to target Latinos with discriminatory traffic stops and other enforcement activities,’ said the justice department probe. Once Hispanics are stopped in the eastern US state they face discriminatory checks on their migration status.”
