Arizona racial profiling Arpaio costs immigrants.

The sheriff’s office for metro Phoenix has spent millions of dollars budgeted for compliance costs in a racial profiling case over Joe Arpaio’s immigration crackdowns on things that had little or nothing to do with a court-ordered overhaul of the agency. That’s according to an expert’s report. For over a decade, Maricopa County taxpayers have been responsible for picking up the bill for remedying constitutional violations found in a 2013 racial profiling verdict over then-Sheriff Arpaio’s traffic patrols targeting immigrants. Sheriff Jerry Sheridan’s office says its attorneys are reviewing the report.
