DOJ files suit against Sheriff Joe. basis of the suit is the warrantless & unconstitutional racial profiling his posse engages in, as well as a number of the baseless arrests of Arpaio's political opponents.

quote from article, w/my corrections in red:
"In one case, a sheriff's officer stopped a Latina - a U.S. citizen who was five months pregnant - as she pulled into her driveway and insisted that she sit on the hood of her car.
"When she refused, the officer grabbed her arms, pulled them behind her back, and slammed her, stomach first, into the vehicle three times," the suit said.
Arpaio's combative style and defiance of federal threats have made him a hero to nativists and conservatives, and other such bigots who advocate strict border enforcement. Meanwhile he is a pariah to liberals, decent human beings, and immigrant rights advocates."
Maricopa County: what you get when the voting population of senile old bigots reaches critical mass."When she refused, the officer grabbed her arms, pulled them behind her back, and slammed her, stomach first, into the vehicle three times," the suit said.
