The reports allege racial profiling, detention, property damage and injuries to Salem residents by masked teams of federal agents. The City condemns any illegal use of force and any violation of residents’ constitutional rights," it reads in part.Local SEIU president Johnny Earl provided the following written statement:“No one should be dragged from their car, injured, and terrorized for who they are or where they come from.
