![]() Sheriff Joe's Latest Outrage: Electrified Holding Pens for Immigrants On February 4th, 2009, Joe went on a rampage. He rounded up immigrant detainees and forced them to march, shackled, to a segregated "tent city" surrounded by electric fences in the Arizona desert. The Maricopa County office announced the project in a statement entitled, "Arpaio Orders Move of Hundreds of Illegal Aliens to Their Own Tent City." America's Voice believes that Joe's latest publicity stunt crosses the line. Apparently, so does the House Judiciary Committee. They’ve written a public letter to the Attorney General and head of the Department of Homeland Security calling for an investigation into Arpaio’s tactics. We're joining with human and civil rights advocates across the country to get Arpaio investigated by the Department of Justice. Events to protest Joe are taking place across the country. If you've signed the petition already, please help spread the word. For more information about how to organize events in your community, check out NDLON’s website.
