ArpaioProfilingSuit

01 AUGUST 2012 - PHOENIX, AZ: People sit in the shade in front of the US Courthouse in Phoenix Wednesday. About 200 people, mostly Latino immigrants' rights and civil rights activists, gathered in front of the Sandra Day O'Connor Courthouse in Phoenix Wednesday to pray on what is expected to be the last day of testimony in the racial profiling trial against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The suit, brought by the ACLU and MALDEF in federal court against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, alleges a wide spread pattern of racial profiling during Arpaio's ''crime suppression sweeps'' that targeted undocumented immigrants. U.S. District Judge Murray Snow granted the case class action status opening it up to all Latinos stopped by Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies during the crime sweeps. The case is being heard in Judge Snow's court. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
