Phoenix/Maricopa County, AZ: Detention of 2 Latinos in Arizona was Illegal, Federal Judge Rules

Phoenix/Maricopa County, AZ: Detention of 2 Latinos in Arizona was Illegal, Federal Judge Rules...U.S. District Judge David Campball ruled that when Maricopa County authorities stopped Julian and Julio Mora's pickup truck in February 2009, it was done without reasonable suspicion. The two Hispanic men, who were detained near a landscaping company that was being raided in an identity theft investigation, did nothing to warrant being stopped, the judge ruled...American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona and the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the Moras, who claimed deputies singled them out along a busy street based on the color of their skin.
