Clergy say Gwinnett plan is racial profiling

Members of Concerned Black Clergy held a protest in Gwinnett County today after that county’s Sheriff's Department applied for training from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. Once trained, deputies would have access to federal immigration databases and would be able to begin deportation proceedings for illegal immigrants. Concerned Black Clergy says the program leads to racial profiling and disruption of families.
