As a part of Rights Working Group's National Week of Action to Hold DHS Accountable, Call on Secretary Napolitano to immediately terminate Sheriff Arpaio's 287(g) contract.

In recent months, the hard work of many has raised the profile of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the most infamous Sheriff since Bull Connor, as the ugliest face of the failed national 287(g) program. The Sheriff's march of migrant inmates in a chain gang the New York Times described as"ritual humiliation" revealed the racial profiling and terror he's carried out on Maricopa County, and made urgent the need for federal intervention.

Arpaio deputizes vigilante posses to set up check points, dispatches uniformed officers to roam the streets in ski masks, chases janitors with attack dogs and assault weapons, and directs his law enforcement resources at the request of known white supremacists.

40,000 people recently signed petitions condemning his actions. 5,000 people marched peacefully in Phoenix on February 28 demanding federal intervention. And on April 2, the House Judiciary Committee held hearings on the racial profiling inherent in the 287(g) program.

Yet, Sheriff Arpaio continues to terrorize Maricopa County, taunting the federal government, and daring them to act. We say, "Enough is enough!" President Obama and his Secretary of Homeland Security, former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, need to sever Arpaio's 287(g) agreement now and restore safety and the rule of law to Maricopa County.

Send this letter to Secretary Napolitano calling for the termination of Sheriff Arpaio's 287(g) agreement.
