From the LVRJ: A federal judge ruled Friday that the office of America’s self-proclaimed toughest sheriff systematically singled out Latinos in its trademark immigration patrols, marking the first finding by a court that the agency racially profiles people.
The 142-page decision by U.S. District Judge Murray Snow in Phoenix backs up allegations that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s critics have made for years that his officers violate the constitutional rights of Latinos in relying on race in their immigration enforcement.
Snow, whose ruling came more than eight months after a seven-day, non-jury trial, also ruled Arpaio’s deputies unreasonably prolonged the detentions of people who were pulled over.
The ruling represents a victory for those who pushed the lawsuit. They weren’t seeking money damages but rather a declaration that Arpaio’s office engages in racial profiling and an order that requires it to make policy changes.
“For too long the sheriff has been victimizing the people he’s meant to serve with his discriminatory policy,” said Cecillia D. Wang, director of the ACLU Immigrants’ Right Project. “Today we’re seeing justice for everyone in the county.” http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-and-west/judge-rules-arpaios-office-profiles-latinos
Whatever, ACLU, you still think that illegals are fine upstanding citizens of this country when in fact, all are criminals, most commit other crimes and most are a drain on government and private monies.
Before anyone says that this idiot judge was a George W. Bush appointee, Bush is pro-illegal immigrant and the judge fits Bush's agenda.
Keep up the good work, Sheriff Joe, get rid of as many illegals as you can and throw fear into those who choose to stay.
