The Obama administrations US Department of Justice threatened to sue the Sheriff's department on Thursday May 10,2012. Sheriff Joe released his overhaul plan on Wednesday May 9, 2012.
The US DOJ office kept its promise and filed a lawsuit today. One of the few promises the Obama administration has kept. Justice Department lawsuit alleges that sheriff's deputies discriminate against Latino residents during patrol operations and in the county's jails and that the Sheriff's Office retaliates against critics of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
