AXIS II POTUS? "No problem"

"The Defendants’ violations of the Constitution and laws of the United States are the product of a culture of disregard in MCSO for Latinos that starts at the top and pervades the organization. MCSO jail employees frequently refer to Latinos as 'wetbacks,' 'Mexican bitches,' and 'stupid Mexicans.'  MCSO supervisors involved in immigration enforcement have expressed anti-Latino bias, in one instance widely distributing an email that included a photograph of a Chihuahua dog dressed in swimming gear with the caption 'A Rare Photo of a Mexican Navy Seal'.”

"From at least 2006 and continuing through the present, MCSO officers have unlawfully discriminated against Latinos and otherwise violated their constitutional rights through a broad range of police practices, including the following:

a. Unconstitutional and unlawful targeting of Latinos, because of their race, color, or national origin, for pretextual traffic stops during routine
enforcement activity, in connection with purported immigration and human smuggling law enforcement activities, and during purported crime suppression operations (suppression sweeps);
b. Unconstitutional and unlawful detention of Latino drivers and passengers, because of their race, color, or national origin,  to determine immigration status, when there is no lawful basis for the detention;
c. Unconstitutional and unlawful searches and seizures of Latinos, because of their race, color, or national origin, during raids of residences suspected of housing undocumented persons; and
d. Unconstitutional and unlawful targeting of Latino workers and illegal detention of Latinos, because of their race, color, or national origin, during worksite raids."

"This was evidenced bya 2011 study that assessed the incidence of traffic violations by non-Latino and Latino drivers and compared those data to the rates at which MCSO officers stopped non-Latino and Latino traffic violators.  

For example, in the southwest portion of the County, the study found that Latino drivers are almost four times more likely to be stopped by MCSO officers than non-Latino drivers engaged in similar conduct.

In the northwest portion of the County, the study found that Latino drivers are over seven times more likely to be stopped by MCSO officers than non-Latino drivers engaged in similar conduct. Most strikingly, in the northeast portion of the County, the study found that Latino drivers are nearly nine times more likely to be stopped by MCSO officers than non-Latino drivers engaged in similar conduct."

"In one instance, HSU officers stopped and detained a Latino driver and Latino passengers for a human smuggling investigation because they 'appeared to be laying or leaning on top of each other' and 'appeared, disheveled, dirty, or stained clothing [sic].'  However, MCSO pictures taken at the scene show neatly dressed passengers sitting comfortably in the rear of the vehicle."

In another instance, MCSO officers stopped a car carrying four Latino men, although the car was not violating any traffic laws.  The MCSO officers ordered the men out of the car, zip-tied them, and made them sit on the curb for an hour before releasing all of them.  The only reason given for the stop was that the men’s car 'was a little low,' which is not a criminal or traffic violation."

"For example, an MCSO officer stopped a Latina woman–a citizen of the United States and five months pregnant at the time–as she pulled into her driveway. After she exited her car, the officer then insisted that she sit on the hood of the car. When she refused, the officer grabbed her arms, pulled them behind her back, and slammed her, stomach first, into the vehicle three times.  He then dragged her to the patrol car and shoved her into the backseat.  He left her in the patrol car for approximately 30 minutes without air conditioning.  The MCSO officer ultimately issued a citation for failure to provide identification.  This citation was later changed to failure to provide proof of insurance.  The citation was resolved when the woman provided her proof of insurance to the local court."
