. @AVHndz spoke to volunteers about why migrants may be reluctant to report abuse: “Many still don’t know what COPA is, let alone feel confident they can report police misconduct to them without facing reprisals."
UPDATE: A police oversight agency said it can’t find migrants who were allegedly sexually abused by cops. https://t.co/l9P6Y01ghH https://t.co/2mArdvMIs3
