"Nearly 3weeks ago, #Giuliani was charged in #Arizona in connection with actions he allegedly took after the 2020 presidential election to try to reverse #Trump's loss in the state.

“Arraignments of #Giuliani & 10 other allies of #Trump were underway on Tues in #Arizona criminal case that charges them with trying to keep Trump in power after he lost pres election.
A total of 50 people — incl Trump — now face charges related to election interference in four states. A number of Trump allies have already pleaded guilty or reached cooperation agreements in cases in Georgia and Michigan.”
Advocates say some tactics used by officers to target Latinos in Trump’s deportation effort draw from Joe Arpaio’s playbook.
“The model was Maricopa County — the very public, very humiliating, demoralizing approach to the raids, and the cruelty.”
