Perhaps I missed something in reading that article?

Quote:
Four leading Democratic members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Friday asked the new attorney general and Homeland Security secretary to investigate civil-rights complaints stemming from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's crackdowns on illegal immigration.
Quote:
The four lawmakers called on Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to investigate complaints that deputies used skin color as the basis to search for illegal immigrants.
Am I mis-reading the word complaint in the article?

I don't know if Arpaio is a good guy or a bad guy. A fair and open investigation should give us the answer.
