LCPD chief meets with undocumented immigrants
by Samantha Lewis
... Las Cruces Police ...Chief Jaime Montoya said he spoke with a few people who ... are worried local police will report them to ICE agents ... Montoya is .. concerned .. these people will be afraid to report crimes out of fear of deportation ... Montoya said that Las Cruces police will not enforce immigration laws. He said he will not ask anyone for their legal status ... As part of that process, the police department is making bilingual flyers meant to ensure those who are in the country illegally that they won’t be targeted by local police.
