OSU Law Students Taking On Border Patrol

Ohio State University law students say the U.S. Border Patrol agency is racially profiling Latinos.  The students and a Toledo law firm have filed a lawsuit to obtain records from a Border Patrol office in northern Ohio.  They say they are trying to uncover evidence that agents are disproportionately targeting Latinos when their primary job is to patrol the Canadian border along Lake Erie.
