EL PASO – Saying he is worried about possible racial profiling in El Paso County, a South Texas lawmaker has asked Gov. Rick Perry to specify how the Texas Border Sheriffs Coalition is permitted to spend nearly $10 million in border security grant money.
State Sen. Juan Hinojosa, D-McAllen, said in a letter that he was concerned that El Paso County Sheriff Leo Samaniego is using a $376,500 grant to run roadblocks and raids aimed at ferreting out illegal immigrants. He said he worried that people are being detained on a hunch that they "look" illegal. He said some residents have complained that they were asked for Social Security cards as a tactic to figure out if they were illegal immigrants.
Sheriff Samaniego denied any wrongdoing Monday.
Perry officials said the governor has not formally responded to Mr. Hinojosa's letter.RIP Butterbean! We miss you and hope you are well in heaven.-- Your ALIPAC friends
