Feds to Sue Sheriff Joe for Civil Rights Violations?

CNN reports that “The Justice Department is preparing to sue Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known internationally as `America’s toughest sheriff,’ saying talks between the two sides have fallen through.” In December, the Department of Justice released a report finding a pattern and practice of discrimination against Latinos and immigrants by the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office under Arpaio’s leadership.
