Sheriff Joe Arpaio is being sued after admitting that he is targeting illegal immigrants during his crime sweeps. Five people and the Latino community-based coalition called Somos America are suing Arpaio charging that they or their members were unlawfully stopped and mistreated by law enforcement because they are Latino. The class action lawsuit charges that the policies and practices of Arpaio and the county are discriminatory.
