Maricopa County in Arizona Loses to Supreme Court Ruling on Sheriff Joe Arpaio Racial Profiling Case

A latest development in the case of sheriff Joe Arpaio was recently reported. Fox News Latino reports that the U.S. Supreme Court has denied an appeal from Maricopa County, which said that they were improperly named in Arpaio's case as a party.

The case regarding the racial profiling allegations towards Arpaio dates back in 2013. Meanwhile, Arpaio remains to be silent about the latest development on his case. However, the famed sheriff, who allegedly sketched Latinos racially in his regular traffic and immigration patrols, may face another civil suit.

The news comes amid the recent immigration raids happening around the U.S. under the Obama administration, where 121 undocumented immigrants from Latin American countries were deported or detained.

Before the U.S. Supreme Court denied the appeal, the case reached the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, according to the news agency. Furthermore, Arpaio's will reportedly move forward, holding Arpaio for civil contempt of court after previously defying court orders.

The sheriff continues to face a tough ordeal, especially after announcing some personal problems involving his family. AZ Central reports that Arpaio's wife, Ava Arpaio, is currently battling cancer. Despite receiving tough criticisms in recent months regarding the sheriff's allegations in court, some individuals on social media, including an opponent of Arpaio, have consoled him for his wife's condition.

Immigration advocate Lydia Guzman, according to the publication, has announced her sympathies for his long-time political opponent.

"As much as I give Arpaio a hard time I am also thinking about his wife and send best wishes for a recovery," Guzman wrote on Facebook alongside a photo of red roses for Arpaio's wife.

"My greatest wish is that God may send her relief and comfort. It's not her fault she is married to someone like that," Guzman added. Meanwhile, Guzman just updated her Facebook page and announced that Arpaio already responded to her message.

"Arpaio became aware of the many well wishes for his wife on my Facebook. He said he appreciates them. I'm glad that he's able to see that despite the suffering our community has endured, we are a community that feels love and compassion," Guzman wrote.
