“Two civil rights organizations have settled a suit against the Otero County Sheriff’s Department that alleged civil rights were neglected during immigration sweeps last September.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, in a joint news release, said that the sheriff’s department raided homes in Chaparral without search warrants and interrogated families without evidence of any criminal activity.”*
