The legal director of the ACLU in Arizona filed a civil action against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio over his arrest and jailing hours when he went to observe a demonstration against Arpaio’s anti-immigrant policies. In the suit filed yesterday, legal director Daniel Pochoda says Arpaio accused him of “criminal trespass” on a public street, then lied about the incident to the media.
