Arizona - Judge Rules Against Maricopa Deputies - NYTimes.com: A federal judge ruled Monday that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department violated the constitutional rights of Julio Mora, an American citizen, and his father, Julian, a legal resident, in 2009 when deputies stopped their truck and took them to a business where an immigration raid was under way. The Moras were detained along with others arrested in the raid. A trial is expected this year to determine whether the detention was racially motivated and whether Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the deputies should be held individually liable.
