The taxpayer bill for a racial profiling case stemming from former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration patrols in metropolitan Phoenix is expected to reach nearly $150 million by the summer of 2020.
Officials say Maricopa County taxpayers have already paid $111.5 million in attorney and compliance costs since the lawsuit over traffic patrols targeting immigrants was filed in 2007, and the figure is projected to rise by nearly $7.4 million by the end of June.
