Arizona, USA: Ein juristischer Sieg gegen Racial Profiing
Jan. 5, 2015 – Injunction Granted in Puente v. Arpaio
Court Grants Injunction in Lawsuit Against Workplace Raids
Arpaio and Montgomery Ordered to Stop Enforcing Statutes on which Raids are Based
PHOENIX — Federal Judge David Campbell today put a stop to the workplace raids that have torn apart countless families in Maricopa County.
Judge Campbell determined that the raids instigated by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and supported by Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery are likely unconstitutional and must be stopped, at least until a final decision is rendered in a class action lawsuit. Today’s preliminary injunction in Puente v. Arpaio bars Arpaio and Montgomery from enforcing portions of two Arizona statutes, A.R.S. § 13-2008 and § 13-2009, that they have been using to criminalize undocumented workers.
