ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A Latino legal advocacy group has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a New Mexico woman who says she was fired after complaining of discrimination against Latino immigrants seeking driver's licenses.
The Mexican American Legal Defense Fund announced the lawsuit Thursday in Albuquerque and said the woman, Laura Montano, was fired from the state's Department of Motor Vehicles when she raised objections to an effort to block illegal immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses.
New Mexico is one of three states that allow illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses.
According to the lawsuit, Montano was told not to speak Spanish to foreign nationals who were told they had to provide new residency requirements to keep licenses.
