In 2021, Sheriff LaRue was named in a class-action lawsuit filed by the ACLU and the Asian Law Caucus, alleging a system of racial profiling and unlawful vehicle stops targeting Asian American residents.

The case is ongoing, with plaintiffs seeking accountability for alleged civil rights violations.
