"19 JULY 2012 - PHOENIX, AZ:  PATRICIA ROSAS stands with an American flag in front of the US Courthouse on the first day of a class action lawsuit, Melendres v. Arpaio in Phoenix Thursday. Rosas opposes Arpaio. The suit, brought by the ACLU and MALDEF in federal court against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, alleges a wide spread pattern of racial profiling during Arpaio's ""crime suppression sweeps"" that targeted undocumented immigrants. U.S. District Judge Murray Snow granted the case class action status opening it up to all Latinos stopped by Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies during the crime sweeps. The case is being heard in Judge Snow's court.  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ"
