Action Alert Victory: Department of Justice to Investigate Arizona Sheriff's Racial Profiling

There is little room in Arizona to avoid the accusation of racial profiling when arresting illegal immigrants for specific crimes. I live in Arizona and I can say that we don't see many blue eyed, blond illegal immigrants. Racial profiling is an issue that is brought up by many so called minority groups when they encounter the law enforcement officials. The people of Arizona are footing the bill for a lot of people, a really lot of people, who don't carry their load. Quite a bit of leeway is given the people who want to be here...such as "press one for English" in the choice tree for many companies. Some might ask, "Why should I have to "press one" for English, this is my country where most speak English." Maybe those who don't/can't speak English should "press one". This point is made to indicate the leeway and space made for those who don't/can't speak English, not that "press one" is a real hardship. In recent events in this country, it seems all too common that when a person who is non Caucasian is arrested or otherwise encountered by either the police or a statement that is contrary to that persons goals, "RACIAL PROFILING" is raised as the primary reason for the encounter.

Yes, but this case's progress is quite slow and I'm beginning to think otherwise. However, the fight continues. In the meantime, we must continue our collective efforts to uphold the civil rights and human dignity of immigrant communities around the country.

According to The Associated Press, The Justice Department wrote in a letter that it will focus on alleged patterns of police discrimination based on national origin. As I noted the other day, Arpaio is already being sued in a civil case for exactly the same thing.

Well said...I also agree with you.

Yes, the fight continues. The investigation of Sheriff Arpaio may take months, but we'll be here to push it through further. We can't just let it slip and get into the back of our minds.

Wee said. I agree with you. This post is very informative & relevant.

Maybe more voters of Maricopa County will finally realize that their Sheriff is a liability, not an asset.And good luck, because the fight is still on.

It is amazing how many of these police officers get away with racial profiling.
