A U.S. Citizen Was Detained by the MCSO
• Phoenix New TimesJulian Mora, a 67-year-old who suffers from diabetes, was refused several requests to use the bathroom. Eventually, sheriff's deputies allowed him to urinate behind a vehicle parked nearby. His son Julio was allowed to go to the bathroom with his hands zip-tied in front of him, as the deputies watched and cracked crude jokes.
The Moras' ordeal is now the subject of a lawsuit filed in August by the American Civil Liberties Union on their behalf.
