Some residents in the border town of Arivaca, Arizona have claimed that a local Border Patrol checkpoint does not make the community safer, but subjects people--especially Latinos--to unnecessary harassment.
Activists have asked the federal agency to turn over data about who is being stopped and detained at its interior checkpoint in Arivaca, about 25 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
So far the feds have refused to share that data.
A community group began monitoring the checkpoint themselves this year and just released their findings.
