Reply #2: Yes, the group from Santa [View All]

was Somos Un Pueblo Unido. The group is coming back this Saturday because the profiling/deportations are continuing.

I know of two new cases, one in Ruidoso where cops detained a passenger in a car whose driver had done a rolling stop at a stop sign. Cops took the passenger to Ruidoso Police Department and held him until a Border Patrol unit arrived and took him away either to Alamo or Chaparral.

That was about 10 days ago. A complaint filed with the Ruidoso Police Department said the detaining cop had reported the man deported looked like a Hispanic and did not speak good English.

The second case was this past Monday (two days ago) in Ruidoso Downs where local cops pulled over the driver of a dumptruck, held him for over two hours on the side of Highway 70 until the Border Patrol arrived. The man was working for a local construction company.

Fyi Univision New Mexico did a three-part report on Ruidoso Downs just days before the Ruidoso Downs police chief (Ortiz) was asked for his resignation and when he refused, the village council went behind closed doors and suspended him for six months.

If you are interested in seeing the Univision TV reports, I can PM you the link, (if it is still working).
