Remember when Sheriff Joe Arpaio's lawyer Tim Casey told federal Judge G. Murray Snow that, "The MCSO is out of the federal immigration enforcement business"?

That was during a hearing in June following Snow's ruling in Melendres v. Arpaio that the MCSO is guilty of racial profiling. Snow has ordered the MCSO to end its unconstitutional targeting of Latinos.

Well, Casey can eat his words, as Arpaio's goons raided two locations of the local family restaurant Uncle Sam's on Wednesday, arresting 10 people on state charges of ID theft and forgery.
