Forks Group Wants to Monitor the Border Patrol

Forks Human Rights Group has presented the Forks City Council with a proposal to form a committee that would open a dialogue about the interaction between the Border Patrol and local residents.

The group's spokesperson said local police agencies should:

Engage immigrant communities in dialogue;

Educate immigrant communities on law enforcement’s role in immigration enforcement;

Develop written policies and procedures for handling undocumented immigrants; and

Monitor cases of racial profiling.

The City Council meeting had an overflow crowd of more than fifty attendees.
