Federal authorities have told a high-profile Arizona sheriff that they will investigate his department over allegations of discriminatory practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures.
The U.S. Justice Department said in a letter delivered Tuesday to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio that the investigation will focus on alleged patterns of discrimination based on a person's national origin.
Arpaio told The Associated Press that he will cooperate with the Justice Department.
Arpaio, who describes himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff" and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna sandwiches, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, received praise for his anti-immigration efforts from many who believe the federal government isn't doing enough to remove people in the U.S. illegally.

It’s gonna be a fight the libtard Arizonans cannot answer. The Conservatives in AZ better step up.
Batten down the hatches ‘cause here it comes.
The government that is powerful enough to give you everything, is powerful enough to take it away.
Why anyone would ever vote to give government power is beyond me.
Who’da thunk? One brave sheriff enforces the laws on the books, and the Feds go after him.
We are only 50 days into this administration. Only one thousand, four hundred and ten days to go.
Sheriff Joe’s response will likely be some variant of ‘’bring it on’’.
AZ state pols better get 10th Amendment passed and back Sheriff Joe.
I stand in support of Sheriff Joe.
Saw him on local news a few minutes ago and that’s EXACTLY what he said...”Bring it on.”
I agree. However, as much as I admire what he's done, he hasn't got a chance. The Feds will crush him, no matter what it takes.
Watch closely, It’s a full frontal attack. They have already over-reached. The back-lash begins.
Obama’s people will go after the Sheriff just as they went after Rush
I disagree, the blue collar market in Phoenix is crap and they are not happy with the rampant crime and illegals.

Good to hear.
Arizona: better get that 10th Amendment bill passed on the double!
The Sheriff should tell obambi that first they need to arrest that little shrimp Mr. Robert Third Reich, that said there should not be jobs going to “White Male Construction Workers”.
I would expect those in Arizona to come out in mass in support of this Sheriff.
Otherwise, the Feds will go after him with a vengeance.
