In \u003ci\u003eDriving While Brown\u003c\/i\u003e, they tell the tale of two opposing movements that redefined Arizona's political landscape--the restrictionist cause advanced by Arpaio and the Latino-led resistance that rose up against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story follows Arpaio, his supporters, and his adversaries, including Lydia Guzman, who gathered evidence for a racial-profiling lawsuit that took surprising turns. Guzman joined a coalition determined to stop Arpaio, reform unconstitutional policing, and fight for Latino civil rights. \u003ci\u003eDriving While Brown\u003c\/i\u003e details Arpaio's transformation--from \"America's Toughest Sheriff,\" who forced inmates to wear pink underwear, into the nation's most feared immigration enforcer who ended up receiving President Donald Trump's first pardon.
