Arizona lawman sued for alleged racial profiling

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | July 17, 2008 

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A group of Hispanic activists in Arizona filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Wednesday, alleging the lawman uses racial profiling in controversial sweeps to round up illegal immigrants. Arpaio began the patrols in mostly Hispanic communities in the Phoenix valley last year. His deputies stop people and arrest anyone who cannot prove legal U.S. residency. The lawsuit brought by five individuals and Somos America, a Latino community-based coalition, alleges the people were “unlawfully stopped and mistreated by law enforcement because they are Latino.”
