Federal Judge Rules Sheriff Joe Violated Rights

Judge G. Murray Snow, of the United States District Court, ruled against one of the toughest sheriff's in the country, on Friday.

Snow decided that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has violated constitutional law, accusing him and his deputies of singling out Latinos.

The judge stated that Arpaio had used racial profiling in his attempts to catch illegal immigrants, in Maricopa County, Arizona.

According to Snow, deputies may not focus on Latinos when looking for illegal immigrants.

Lawyers for Maricopa County, and Sheriff Joe, argued that race was never the focus in illegal immigrant cases and vowed to appeal the decision.
