The Justice Department has sued Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his
deputies in Maricopa County for racially profiling Latino residents in
the Phoenix area. The DOJ contends that Arpaio
and his deputies aggressively targeted Latinos, regardless of their
immigration status, and retaliated against anyone who got in their way.
We go to Phoenix to speak with Randy Parraz, president of Citizens for a
Better Arizona. "We believe, finally, we’re going to have an airing of
what’s taken place," Parraz says. "We applaud the federal government and
the Department of Justice for coming in and holding Sheriff Arpaio
accountable, because local law enforcement officials here ... are
unwilling to do that work."Video
