8:50Now Playingdemocracynow.org - A new investigation by Colorlines.com has revealed that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continued to detain and deport individuals rounded up by the East Haven Police Department in Connectictut, even after the Department of Justice launched its investigation into racial profiling. Four East Haven police officers have been arrested for targeting Latino immigrants with false arrests and reports, and harassment — prompting the East Haven police chief to resign. We're joined by Seth Freed Wessler, a senior research associate at the Applied Research Center and an investigative reporter for Colorlines.com. East Haven "has a long history of profiling people of color," Freed Wessler says. "Folks of color in the greater New Haven area know not to drive through East Haven, Connecticut: you're going to get pulled over if you're black or Latino."
