Sheriff Joe held a sweep in NW Phoenix, Friday October 16, 2009. He had a press conference after. US Department of Justice Officials (approximately 5) showed up at the conference, UNDERCOVER, POSING AS REPORTERS. When contacted by a Sheriff commander, the Federal Civil Rights officials posing as journalists, conducted themselves "unprofessionally" and "refused to provide official identification. Only one official from the "covert team provided any form of ID when pressed." That was the senior trial attorney, (phonetics) G. Yong Jung. She has been conducting the DOJ's investigation of the Sheriff's office re: allegations of racial profiling. Ms. Yong Jung (Phonetic) confirmed that those who REFUSED TO PROVIDE ID TO THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT WERE Department of Justice Officials. 'The DOJ attorney is a max contributor to Obama campaign and seeks a judgeship.'
Is this "normal" behavior for DOJ officials? Wonder what role Janet played in this?
If I can find a "journalist" report on this, I will add to the post.
WTF? This sounds like something Hugo Chavez would do.
Obama’s secret police...
This is getting to be a police state under Holder. Posing as reporters? I wonder if we will see any response from the MSM on this. These are the same kind of tactics that were used in Communist countries. I know. I lived in Communist Poland for two years. This is outrageous.

Only heard on KFYI, couldn’t find it anywhere else.
If anyone desires to listen, the podcast is at the link, and you can go to the 17:35 mark.
HITLER YOUTH ....
This is nuts!!!!
>Is this “normal” behavior for DOJ officials?
No.
>Wonder what role Janet played in this?
Indeed... if it was Reno we could count on her killing a bunch of “wackos” (including women and children) and then going away (to DC). [/cynic]
Send it to FNC. They will know what to do with the information.
Don't forget Napolitano is in this too. They are making a mockery of our existing immigration laws.
Posing as reporters?
Fox News needs to get on this story. They are attempting to derail Sheriff Joe and apparently will stop at nothing to do it.
The REFUSAL to show any form of ID, and especially their OFFICIAL ID is outrageous.
Wonder if they asked any questions? I can’t seem to find this presser.
did call DOJ-Phx, no information on what happened friday. hmm i will try in the a.m.
i like that link. nice and clean.
Well .. I’ll tell you what .. just let them keep up this kind of activity, and more and more Americans are really going to get fed up .. even more fed up than they already are.
This is clearly a sign of things to come. The dems hate this Sheriff because he’s upholding the law and they cannot abide that against their precious possible voters; you know those illegals they want to give free housing, free healthcare, free everything .. just to convince them to vote for the idiot dems.
I do believe all this over-reaching is going to backfire BIG TIME!!!! Stupid dems .. they do it everytime.
Uh, no it isn't. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what this is, but it should be obvious.
CNN’s Sanchez likens Arpaio to Bull Connor
Sanchez prefaced his interview with the Arizona sheriff:
Well, perhaps not since Bull Connor whose aggressive police tactics against blacks in the South sparked civil rights legislation in 1964 has our country seen a showdown like the one going on right now between Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio and Washington, as in the feds.
And during his interview:
SANCHEZ: Like Bull Connor in 1960s, you’re going to sit there and tell the feds, you don’t care what they say, you’re going to do it your way and you’re going to do it when you want to do it?
ARPAIO: No, they don’t tell me how to do my job enforcing state laws. I worked 25 years as a top Justice Department drug enforcement official. I think I know the federal law and how to operate under the federal blanket. So...
SANCHEZ: All right. Well, for the record, they’re saying you don’t and they’re saying you’re violating it.
ARPAIO: Then come on after me, if he thinks I’m violating any of the federal laws.

Mexico to Aid Migrants (ILLEGALS) Arrested by Controversial Arizona Sheriff
MEXICO CITY – The Mexican government is aiding 13 undocumented Mexicans (ILLEGALS) nabbed by an Arizona sheriff’s department that does not have the authority to enforce immigration laws, the foreign ministry said.
The ministry noted in a statement that last week’s arrests in and around Phoenix took place after the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department lost the immigration-enforcement jurisdiction it had under a 287(g) accord with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
That accord “empowered sheriff’s deputies to exercise functions of immigration control,” but was not in effect when the incidents occurred that led to the arrests of a Mexican minor and 12 adults, all of them undocumented.
Maricopa’s headline-chasing sheriff, Joe Arpaio, claims the “crime suppression” operation launched last Friday did not involve racial profiling.
But the self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff in the West” has been investigated by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly discriminatory conduct.
The “crime suppression” operation took place northwest of Phoenix in the town of Surprise, where personnel from the Mexican Consulate went to the immigrants’ aid, the foreign ministry said.
“All of them were interviewed to determine their emotional condition and the state of their health. At the same time, contact was made with family members to explain the legal situation of each one of the detainees,” the communique said.
It also rejected “actions tending to categorize as criminals Mexican migrants for the mere fact of being that.”
Mexico’s foreign ministry vowed to continue offering “consular aid and deploying all its people, legal resources and protection corresponding to the laws of that country as well as international law to defend the Mexicans’ rights

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: I don’t take orders from anybody
What is the lady’s real name... don’t give me phonetics... go find it somewhere on the internet...
Is there not something illegal about impersonating people in this fashion.
Or maybe they were doing a comedy act.
Mexican faces federal illegal re-entry charge by a deported alien<./a>
Snippets: Federal agents recently charged a Mexican man reportedly deported from the U.S. more than a dozen times with illegal reentry by an illegal alien.
Houston County officials previously released information that Hernandez-Arellano had been deported from the U.S. 28 times, and was from Mexico.
FIRST BLOGGERS, NOW REPORTERS!!!!
May God protect Sheriff Joe and he fights to protect all of us.
He’s only one of the few that cares who comes across the border.
poor acting job? ;)
Hopefully they will not have done enough damage.
Rick kept saying “nativists” and keeping them happy. He was meaning “nativists” as in “racists”.
Well .. we’ll have to rustle up the repubs and get them to see the error of their ways .. so we can have a head start in 2010. Otherwise .. the damage could be devastating!!
Holder is just full of his diversity racist self.

.
Seem to be not good at ANYTHING they do. Sore thumbs ring a bell?
This crap sounds like something out of Dumb and Dumber. They keep piling these straws on the camel’s back. Sooner or later, they are going to find a broken effing camel in their beds.
A not well thought out attempt at a sting. Very clumsy, carrying the marks of political desperation. And I bet those who carried it out thought to themselves “this sucks.”
WTF?!! Just who the Hell do you think you are ordering someone else to do your work? Ever considered doing it yourself? Please go crawl back into your hole, and stay there.
They are first trying to intimidate him to obey and stop enforcing the laws they don’t want enforced. Then they will come up with fake charges and arrest him in front of all the obamacultmedia cameras. They want to show all the other law enforcement officials what will happen if they obey the law rather than Justice Department leftists.
The Left is not beyond creating false victims and false witnesses to go after a target as we have seen often on University campuses. Killing enemies is not beyond them, either.
It is very serious that we have put communists in power.
It’s comforting that Mexico “cares about the proper enforcement of US laws”, as they seem them. /S
Now they can pay for the medical, schooling, welfare benefits, restitution for victims, etc. that their “migrants” are costing US Citizens.
Note to idiot sanchez....Bull Connor was a Democrat.
blabla, i tried really hard, looked at the bar, justice site, nada. i sent JD an email asking for the spelling. if you can find it, be my guest. :)
I’m willing to bet that stand-up isn’t their day job.
That is one of my favorite movies.
Thanks to the prodding of bahbla, found her name.

DOJ Engages in Misconduct - Cover Up in Sheriff Joe Case
The Muffled Oar has previously reported on the dispute between Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arapio and the Department of Justice. Why is the Department after him? Because Arpaio doesn’t have enough Spanish spoken in the jails and does an extremely good job finding and ensuring illegal aliens are deported.
It has been reported that an attorney involved in the matter may have engaged in illegal and unethical communications without the lawyers present on the other side. Even worse, the Department may have obtained documents illegally.
The Department of Homeland Security had a separate and distinct investigation of the Sheriff. The Department of Justice lawyers are alleged to have illegally called the shots in the DHS investigation and obtained through DHS requests documents which DOJ had no right to obtain. That much has already been reported here and in other news outlets. But what hasn’t been reported are the details of DOJ’s efforts to cover up this wrongdoing and buy the silence of Maricopa County before the details of the wrongdoing became publicly known. The Muffled Oar’s sources report the truth is far worse than what media outlets like the Arizona Republic has thus far reported.
In the wake of the controversy, Chief of the Special Litigation Section (SPL) Shanetta Cutlar reached out to Clarisse McCormick in the the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and offered to strictly segregate the DOJ and DHS investigations. More specifically, given the controversy (and the unethical conduct by Trial Attorney Je Yon Jung) over SPL using documents and information gathered by DHS auditors — which would circumvent attorney-client privilege — Cutlar told the County attorney that, if it would cooperate with the Justice Investigation, SPL would not use any of the documents gathered by DHS. (Cooperate means consent to interviews and document hand overs.)
Whether or not SPL would really have been able to abide by Cutlar’s promise is something we’ll never know. Why? Because before Maricopa County’s McCormick could respond to this offer, Ms. Cutlar advised Deputy Assistant Attorney General Steve Rosenbaum (yes, him again) of her offer. Rosenbaum responded with anger and said that Cutlar had no authority to make such an offer and ordered her to rescind it. Cutler objected. So Ms. Cutlar was forced to contact Ms. McCormick and rescind the offer.
Stated another way, Rosenbaum mandated that SPL use documents gathered illegally in violation of the attorney-client privilege. SPL Section Chief Cutler strongly opposed Rosenbaum’s command and the unethical consequences. She articulated these objections to Rosenbaum. Even worse for the Department of Justice, as has been reported, the Sheriff has now refused to cooperate with the Justice investigation. And in no small part, the Civil Rights Division has the petty Steve H. Rosenbaum to blame.
Muffled Oar readers will recognize the name Steve Rosenbaum. He is the same poltical hatchet man that:
1. Endorsed race discrimination against white New Haven Firefighters.
2. Enabled armed black panthers to get away with voter intimidation.
3. Went after the North Carolina Republicans for voter intimidation for sending junk mail.
Will any Arizona newspaper have the skill and guts to report on the fight inside Justice on how to handle the unethical behavior of Je Yon Jung? Will the Arizona Republic have the courage to report that illegal conduct by Department attorneys is being used to build a case against the Sheriff? Cutler wanted to fix the problem but Rosenbaum overruled her and made it worse. Will the dinosaur media cover it? Don’t hold your breath.

VERY serious. We are standing on the precipice and they are pushing with all their might. We simply have GOT to stop this somehow.
The Good Sheriff is in real danger. The only thing that might save him is more and even more publicity. We got to watch his back.
here’s a bio of her
Je Yon Jung
Je Yon Jung is a senior trial attorney with the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Housing & Civil Enforcement Section, where her primary responsibilities include litigation of fair housing and public accommodation discrimination cases throughout the United States. She entered the Civil Rights Division in 1997 under the Department’s Honors Program. From 1996-1997, she clerked for the Honorable Linda K. Davis on the D.C. Superior Court. She received her J.D. from the Ohio State University College of Law with honors in 1996. She received her B.A. in Philosophy of Law and Communications from the University of Colorado-Boulder in 1992. Ms. Jung is a mentor for Asian American LEAD, a local community-based organization providing direct services primarily to the Southeast Asian refugee population, and former group coordinator for Asian American LEAD’s young women’s creative writing group. Ms. Jung is the D.C. chapter representative to the national board of the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum, an organization dedicated to forging a grassroots progressive movement for social and economic justice and the political empowerment of Asian and Pacific American women and girls.
There are those psycho-edu-babble words again: progressive, empowerment, social and economic justice
LoL, LoL if it weren’t so frickin bad..that is funny. I was thinking about the new sat night live crew. Or any crews since the original cast. None have been funny and are such poor actors, they are the only ones I could think of to equate the administration clowns that are stuck on stupid!
Not sure how things work elsewhere, but here in Texas if a law enforcement officer asks someone to provide their I.D. and they refuse or provide something invalid, the person is arrested and hauled to jail.
Sheriff Joe’s debupties should have arrested all of the masquerading DOJ folks for refusing to provide proper I.D.
