important battles happen far outside the view of national media --
and despite the attacks, we will never stop helping the people who
need it most. <B>Last week, we and the immigrant rights community
have won a hard-fought partial victory. Sheriff Joe Arpaio will no
longer be allowed to arrest anybody on the street he suspects of
being an illegal immigrant.</B></FONT><BR><BR><FONT color=#000000

about the Barbaric Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. Sheriff
Arpaio has perpetrated some of the worst abuses of immigrants (and
everyone whose skin color made them suspect) I've ever seen, like
marching them in chains through the streets to an outdoor tent
city with an electric fence, separating families, raiding
workplaces, and engaging in racial profiling. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT

Homeland Security has helped facilitate these abuses through its
287g program, which lets local law enforcement agencies enforce
federal immigration laws.</B></FONT><BR><BR><FONT color=#000000

others like you have not stood by and let this go unchallenged.

of the racial profiling and human rights abuses inherent in its
implementation. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT color=#000000 size=2

resulted in a welcome step forward from DHS. <B>The controversial

out Friday afternoon. </B></FONT><BR><BR><FONT color=#000000
