“Hispanics in this community have been on edge after a Lake County deputy was beaten by an angry mob of partygoers last month.

They say the Sheriff’s Office has unfairly targeted them with stepped-up patrols in Sorrento, along with the arrests of dozens of people across the county suspected of being illegal immigrants.

“It’s a bad situation,” said Arcadio Espinosa, a landscaper who has lived in Sorrento more than three years. “Many people are afraid to leave their homes. They [deputies] see you driving or walking and they will immediately stop you and ask you for identification.”"*
