http://thinkprogress.org/immigration/2014/10/30/3586329/judge-orders-anti-immigration-sheriff-to-undergo-racial-profiling-training/A federal judge has ordered an anti-immigration sheriff to undergo training to show that his office will no longer single out Latinos during traffic and immigration stops, Reuters reported this week.
U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow previously ruled that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaios office often relied on racial profiling methods to unconstitutionally target Latinos. As part of that ruling, the court mandated training for the countys officers on bias-free policing. But Arpaio never underwent the training. Since that ruling, Arpaio has continued to defend his offices invalidated tactics, saying recently to a reporter that he would conduct a 2008 immigration raid that was deemed unlawful all over again if faced with the same circumstances.
Earlier in October, the judge said that Arpaios comment could make it difficult to be in compliance with the courts order, writing that while the sheriff was allowed to make public statements as a public official, that his deputies cannot be presumed to ignore what he says. At the time, the judge set a hearing for the end of October to go over whether Arpaios public comments should be considered in evaluating whether the agency is in compliance with the courts order on training, KTAR reported. I cant ignore things he says when theyre directly as provocative as they are, Snow said. And during Tuesdays hearing, Snow was frustrated to learn that Arpaio had not personally undergone the court-ordered training sessions, saying, I will order Sheriff Arpaio to take the training. I will order that today.
During several of these court-ordered training sessions, video revealed Arpaio and other top Maricopa County Sheriffs officials mocking the court mandate and making other statements to undermine it, a move that Snow harshly condemned in March as an inaccurate characterization of his injunction ruling. The judge brought Arpaio and his Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan into court after learning that Sheridan told deputies that the federal court order was absurd and ludicrous, an assessment that Arpaio had agreed with.

Why am I picturing the diversity training episode of The Office?
