Other businesses in the area overcrowd on a regular basis, and because deputies eat free, or get drunk at those establishments, they are not punished. Pepe’s Place is a Hispanic owned business and has been the target of racial profiling, and undue scrutiny given the managerial turnaround. Some Loudoun County Sheriff’s deputies are intent on shutting the establishment down even though they cannot cite real recent incidents behind their intent. Some may cite the recent Assault by Mob that occurred where ten where arrested. What you don’t hear is that all the charges against the arrested suspects were dropped, because the Sherrif’s Dept had a piecemeal case. What really happen was the response to the incident by the department was un-organized, racist, and “minute man like” as multiple innocent Hispanic people were arrested. Deputies often bad mouth and chastise other law enforcement officials when they do not concur with their unwarranted beliefs. All businesses make mistakes; the Loudoun County Sherrif’s Dept. should be working with the establishments to ensure that compliance is met. Unfortunately, the majority of deputies are white and non-Spanish speaking. This is a cultural, and language barrier that causes the department to act in a discriminatory manner against Hispanics. A few months ago the Loudoun County Gang Unit, in cooperation with ICE violated several Hispanic owned establishments civil liberties by allowing ICE to enter the establishments and racially profile customers for possibly gang participation. This was done under the pretext of an administrative alcohol and beverage control check. Something that ICE has no mandate over. Now that the Loudoun County Sherrif’s Dept. is participating in the 287-G program with ICE, one can only assume that this widespread misconduct will only worsen if left un-scrutinized. The corruption in the Loudoun County Sheriff’s department is disheartening, and very concerning. An organization called the Law Enforcement Misconduct Organization has been established to watch such un-constitutional and illegal incidents by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Dept. Such incidents if they occur again will be fully documented and investigated to the fullest extent possible and legal ramifications may result.
