Thirty-five thousand people from all over the country signed a petition calling on the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to investigate Arizona's infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Meanwhile, Arpaio received a letter from the Justice Department Wednesday informing him of a probe into allegations of discriminatory and unconstitutional searches and seizures.
Finally, it seems that the abusive Maricopa County lawman could get what's coming to him.
The petition, initiated by America's Voice, a Washington-based group for immigration reform, was delivered to the agencies Wednesday by House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Min.), Immigration Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), other members of Congress and national immigration advocate leaders.
"Sheriff Arpaio has consistently abused his office in violation of federal law. It is time for the federal government to step in and uphold the rule of law in this country, even in Maricopa County," said Nadler.
Investigating this man - and stripping him of the power to violate with impunity the rights of Americans and immigrants - is not only urgent, it is a matter of fundamental decency.
The publicity-hungry Arpaio has five full-time media relations specialists to publicize his stunts. Yet the spin doctors can't hide the fact that his indiscriminate street sweeps of Hispanics are motivated by racism.

Don't worry, Joe says "brig it on"
He immediately went out and arrested another 26 illegals yesterday...LOL!
Yep, if the marxists file any charges against America's Sheriff there'll be bigtime hell coming their way. Sheriff Joe represents much of what they despise -- namely, personal responsibility and American sovereignty.
There is already talk about tar and feather for those who employ illegals.
I’d sign the support petition Ping!
Every election since the early 90s.
Really? Sonoita/Patagonia area? Coming home to a little patch of God’s country, you are.
Ruiz is a nasty little race baiting commie propagandist, that’s for sure.
Joe works for the people who reside, and vote in Maricopa County. He got a lot more than 35,000 votes when he was re-elected.
300 Million have asked why Congress won’t take positive steps to protect our border....
Is there a petition of support or was that said tongue in cheek?
Someone suggested started an online petition - I’m not sure I’d know how.
But if one is started, I’ll certainly ping the list and let folks know.
Hmmm...I wonder if contacting the folks at NumbersUSA would work? I’m going to give that a try...
35,000 sign a petition demanding investigation of Joe Arpaio and Holder goes ape s..t.
350,000 sign a petition for ZERO to supply his documentation and NOTHING HAPPENS...
Surprise, Surprise, Suprise....
Just how is it we “got his back”. Just like the rancher in Arizona that has been railroaded and fined $70,000 for defending his property, Arpaio will be abandoned as well.
I’m sure he takes great comfort.
“all over the country” no standing.
I take it you did not participate in the onslaught that killed off McCain-Kennedy-Bush Amnesty?
Actually, yes I did. Day and night for what seemed like weeks.
But if one is started, Ill certainly ping the list and let folks know.
Hmmm...I wonder if contacting the folks at NumbersUSA would work? Im going to give that a try...
Let me know if you find a petition to sign....35,000 nationwide signers is really pathetic.
