Washington, DC – The Obama administration is planning to sue Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio after months of negotiations meant to settle a dispute between Sheriff Arpaio and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have fallen through.
Last December, Thomas Perez, head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division issued a report accusing Sheriff Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) of violating the human rights of Latinos. Consequently, Perez demanded that Sheriff Arpaio set up specific policies to prevent the reported abuses in the future, threatening legal action and the revocation of millions of dollars in federal funding if MCSO did not come into compliance. . . . .
