ACLU says it has linked DPS vehicle pursuits in South Texas to 30 deaths since the start of OLS, an initiative created by Gov. Greg Abbott in March 2021 to combat the rise in illegal immigration numbers.
In the written complaint, ACLU notes 17 different DPS vehicle pursuit occurrences that resulted in either deaths, injuries, or both. One occurrence listed was in the first month of OLS, when eight people were killed and three were injured. ACLU says this incident happened in Val Verde County, when a DPS pursuit resulted in a head-on crash 30 miles north of Del Rio. The eight people who died were passengers in the vehicle being pursued.
The civil rights organization claims the reason DPS-involved vehicle pursuit deaths and injuries are rising, is because DPS officers are choosing to engage with Latino drivers during traffic stops as a result of discrimination.
