US citizen was put in jail because of his Latino name and skin color, lawsuit says. - NBCLatino
A Honduran-born U.S. citizen says in a federal lawsuit that he was illegally held in a Louisiana jail for days because a sheriff's office wrongly suspected he was in the country illegally.
Lawyers for the New Orleans-based American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana filed the suit Wednesday in Baton Rouge on behalf of Ramon Torres. It says Torres was jailed on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Ascension Parish on Aug. 31, 2018, after he refused a breath test.The suit says a judge ordered Torres released on his own recognizance the next day, Sept. 1, on the DWI charge. But Ascension authorities didn't release him.
