PHOENIX — A sheriff whose office has been accused of a wide range of civil-rights violations conditionally agreed Wednesday to take part in discussions with federal officials about ways to correct the alleged violations.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said his office first needs the U.S. Justice Department to provide facts to back up its allegations that his office racially profiles Latinos, bases immigration enforcement on racially charged citizen complaints and punishes Latino jail inmates for speaking in Spanish.
