Body camera footage and text messages appear to show federal immigration agents using racial slurs to describe Latinos during enforcement operations in Los Angeles last summer, according to ABC News. The material was submitted as part of an ACLU of Southern California court filing.
The ACLU included the blurred and redacted footage, along with forensically recovered text messages, in a motion for a preliminary injunction. The group is seeking to stop what it describes as a pattern of race-based profiling by federal agents during stops connected to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.
