A statewide push to catch drunk drivers has alarmed members of the Hispanic community, where many fear that highway checkpoints will be used to catch and deport illegal immigrants.
State officials say the event's purpose is to catch drunk drivers, but they say officers won't ignore other violations, such as driving without a license.
"Officers are going to be looking for any violation they see," said Don Nail, assistant director of the Governor's Highway Safety Program.
State law prohibits illegal immigrants from getting drivers licenses, so the threat of widespread checkpoints is a cause for concern. In several counties, including Wake and Alamance, jailers can now check the immigration status of inmates, and traffic charges can lead to deportation.
