I'm trying to raise funds on the behalf of Delilah Anaya to help cover legal fees and medical expenses after a wrongful arrest. On July 16th at 7:22am, Anaya was stopped by an unmarked vehicle on the New Mexico interstate. When the officer approached her car, he was outfitted in tactical gear with no clear insignia. He did not state why Anaya had been pulled over or read her miranda rights. The officer walked over to the driver side of Anaya's car and proceed to open her car door. Immediately escalating the situation to forcibly pulling Anaya out of the car while Anaya asked repeatedly to speak to a manager. Trigger Warning ⚠️ Physical Assault ⚠️ Body Cam & Dash Cam Footage * *it took me awhile to view/listen to this video so if you're sensitive to violence I'd suggest not viewing Delilah Anaya is a US Coast Guard Veteran with no criminal background. Currently working as a nanny, a job she was en route to during the time of the incident. Now with limited resources, Delilah is pursuing a civil rights lawsuit against the New Mexico State Police. With the funds raised from this GoFundMe, Delilah is hoping to pay her lawyer fees and off set her medical expenses from the incident and other ongoing medical conditions. It's been heartbreaking to see someone I love go through such a traumatic event. This kind of blatant abuse of power is only becoming more prevalent against marginalized communities across the nation. Join us in Delilah's fight for justice by donating if you're able to. As well as sharing her story with those in your community. Even the smallest of actions can have a great impact, so I thank you for taking the time to read this.
