Chained Immigrants on Parade: Who Will Stand Up to the Sick Antics of a Racist Sheriff? via AlterNet

Jorge Rivas

Last week in Maricopa County, Ariz., more than 200 Latino immigrants were
chained, dressed in prison stripes and forced to march down a public street from
a county jail to a detainment camp in a desert industrial zone outside
Phoenix.

Along the way they were filmed by television news crews and guarded by
at least 50 Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) deputies, wearing body armor
and combat fatigues, armed with shotguns and automatic rifles. At least two
canine units were present; a Sheriff’s Department helicopter hovered
overhead.
