Report Finds Border Patrol Is Racially Profiling Latin Americans In Michigan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Although people of Latin American origin comprise just 16.8% of the state's foreign-born population, 85% of noncitizens apprehended by Border Patrol were from Latin America.
48% : The border patrol is intentionally targeted Latin American people in Michigan, as someone who has been in the state and seen CBP vehicles fly by me as I walked down the street, I can tell you that they have been going way beyond their intended mission for years.
47% : A report from the Michigan ACLU found that the border patrol was racially profiling and aggressively targeting Latin Americans in the state.
44% : This troubling statistic is even more striking, given the fact that the vast majority of people Border Patrol arrested entering without authorization or attempting to enter without authorization to the United States from Canada (more than 70%) were either citizens of Canada or originally from a European nation.
40% : Long-term residents are being hurt: Instead of following its mandate to patrol the Canadian border, Border Patrol is arresting people who, overwhelmingly, are established, long-term residents of Michigan.
