Jeffrey Gamso, ACLU of Ohio legal director, said his group has received numerous reports of Latinos who reside, work or travel through Ashtabula County being stopped, searched and detained without due cause.
Reports suggest the OHP also has called Immigration and Customs Enforcement and detained legal residents even if they produce proper documentation showing they are lawfully in the United States, Gamso said.
"I've met with the groups who were involved in sending us this letter and they asked us to look the other way when regarding immigration issues," he added. "We cannot do that."
Harmon ensured the ACLU that all traffic stops are due to probable cause and during those stops, they are often presented with forged identifications, which is a felony in Ohio.
"We can't look the other way," Harmon said.

アメリカの話ですけど、一方の主張によれば、ラテン系外国人は理由もなく、停止、捜索、勾留され、しかも、合法である文書を示しているのに、勾留されてしまうそうです。
警察によると、見逃してくれ、とこれらの人々から頼まれたが、しかし、見逃すわけにはいかないんだよ、と言っています。
どっちが本当なんでしょうか？
どっちにせよ、両方の言い分を載せていますね。
日本に関する海外特派員の記事だと、一方の言い分だけ掲載する場合も多いです。
また、安易に人種差別的職務質問、レイシャルプロファリングだああ！とも言っていませんね。
