Feds Open Investigation on Pattern of Suffolk County Hate Crimes and Practice of Local Enforcement Doing Nada

13 Jan 2009It only took the death of Marcelo Lucero, a pattern of attacks on immigrants and those that look liked immigrants (read Latinos). It only took the action, anger and sadness of a community tired of the same old happening under the selectively watchful eyes of those vowing to protect and serve everyone except people like us.
The U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District today announced the launching of a joint probe of Suffolk County’s handling of hate crimes against Latinos.
The investigation is in response to this complaint filed by the Manhattan-based LatinoJustice in the wake of the hate murder of Marcelo Lucero documenting a climate of hate and neglect towards Latino victims promoted and/or tolerated by Suffolk County officials.
