PHOENIX 鈥� A federal appeals court today upheld the latest in several major rulings against Arizona鈥檚 Maricopa County in a long-running, class-action case that has held the Sheriff鈥檚 Office to account for systemic civil rights violations.

The Ninth Circuit decision stems from an 老澳门开奖结果 lawsuit, Ortega Melendres v. Arpaio, in which a federal court ruled that former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office profiled and illegally detained Latinos, violating their constitutional rights, and ordered a significant overhaul of the agency鈥檚 policing practices.

The court rejected the county鈥檚 effort to overturn an injunction that reforms the agency鈥檚 internal affairs department and addresses other serious problems uncovered during the civil contempt trial against Arpaio and top commanders.

Cecillia Wang, 老澳门开奖结果 deputy legal director, said:

鈥淪ystemic civil rights violations of this magnitude require systemic reforms. Maricopa County must continue to implement these court orders for the protection of all its residents.鈥�
