In a searing report, the team tasked with overseeing the beleaguered federal settlement agreement between the Department of Justice and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department over racial profiling allegations sounded the alarm on an unfolding “crisis.”
That agreement grew out of findings from a two-year DOJ investigation which found that deputies routinely racially profiled Black residents in the Antelope Valley.
