Investigation on Arizona Sheriff

I was reading the Daily Beast today and found this:

"Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known throughout some circles for tough enforcement of immigration laws, is currently being investigated by the Department of Justice for discrimination and unconstitutional searches and seizures."
(http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/item/arizona-sheriff-under-investigation/borders/)

It seems like we're finally making some progress!
Maybe this investigation will deter others from treating people unjustly
and violating basic civil liberties.
