Dear Governmental representatives,

For the last three years the Federal Government, the Department of Homeland Security and more specifically the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has been cooperating and working with Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO). This collaboration between the Federal Government and Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has created a Human and Civil Rights crisis in Maricopa County. With the aid of the Federal Government, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has led a rampant campaign of racial profiling. It has been well documented that the terrorizing of Maricopa County neighborhoods and the atrocious conditions and treatment of inmates at Maricopa County jails persist.  Arpaio’s actions are enabled by the federal government’s failure to protect basic human rights and fundamental due process in its enforcement of immigration laws and the use of detention. Arpaio is just one example of the gross mismanagement and lack of federal oversight of immigration enforcement programs and detention facilities.

Congressional hearings have taken place, along with current Federal Investigations by the Justice Department and FBI concerning Arpaio’s transgressions. Still MCSO continues on its quest to single-handedly terrorize Maricopa County with federal authority supervision.  Given current conditions in Maricopa County the undersigned ask the Federal Government to terminate all ICE and Federal contracts between the Federal Government and the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office. Arpaio should not be allowed to continue his reign of terror under federal governmental authority.

Sincerely,
