Democrats on the Charlotte, North Carolina City Council have asked the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to "Cut back" on enforcement of drunk-driving laws in neighborhoods with large illegal immigrant populations, because illegal immigrants apparently are "Nervous to see the cops."
"We start tonight with pressure on Charlotte police to cut illegal immigrants a break when it comes to speeding and drunk driving," reported Mike Garrison of WBT Radio on Feb. 12.
"Democrats on city council are asking the cops to cut back on traffic checkpoints and drunk-driving enforcement in neighborhoods where illegals live," said Garrison.
At a Charlotte City Council meeting on Monday, Feb. 11, the CMPD asked the city council to approve a routine grant for enforcement of traffic checkpoints.
Council member Braxton Winston grilled CMPD Deputy Chief Jeff Estes, asking him why CMPD carried out drunk-driving enforcement operations last week on Charlotte's Central Avenue while Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were conducting a raid in the same area.
Winston asked Estes to avoid conducting operations at the same times and places as operations by other law enforcement agencies, and to be mindful of illegal immigrants' "Sensitive situation" by avoiding their neighborhoods.
The basis for the patrol was an alcohol-related fatal crash in the area a week earlier, and, according to Estes, the patrol had nothing to do with the area's large illegal immigrant population.
